I have got the video sample to play within the main frame of the site, however I would prefer the user clicks on a view sample button to which a new window appears, plays the movie then closes.

Does anyone know the best way to open a new window to achieve this?  
Do I need to create another html shell to hold the movie file, or can it be done from flash?
