To open a popup window from a flash movie you need a Javascript and a getUrl action (attached to a button or keyframe).
The javascript goes in the head section of the HTML page the movie is in.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWindow(theURL,winName,features) {
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>

Assign the following Action to a button or a keyframe (you can copy and paste it directly in the Flash ActionScript panel):

getURL ("javascript:openWindow('your_page.html','windowName','width=640,height=480');")

Replace 'your_page.html' with the name of the popup window. The 'windowName' is similar to a frame name in HTML, so you can use it
as a target to open other popup windows in the same browser window. Use a different winName if you want to open other popup windows
in a new browser window.

Muzak
