Adding a pop-up link into Kirupa Flash gallery

programming flash
1

[LEFT]I got links working in the kirupa gallery script. I am building a portfolio with images and captions, and there are links in the captions (array [4]) that open new browser pages. I would like some of these links to open pop-up windows (the dimension and page links will vary since they are motion films that pop-up). I haven’t been able to get the JS working for the pop ups through the xml and flash files.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I thought that just adding a javascript header script, and using the regular pop up method would work but it doesn’t. Any ideas? I’ve viewed GetURL methods, but I don’t have a button in Flash, so not sure how to go about.

I appreciate your help. I’m hoping someone knows the answer to this. Does begging for help count? (laugh) Thanks in advance.
