How do I turn this HTML to ActionScript?

Hello!

I want to turn this code into ActionScript using on Release();

< href="about.html?x=2" onClick="openWindow('about.html?x=2', 500, 500); return false;">popup link html</a>

So far in AS I have


on (release)	{
	getURL("http://url.com/about.html?x=2");
}

On Flash CS3 Professional if that helps!
