Hi,  
What is it you want to do, do you want an html or chromeless window to pop up when a user clciks a button ? If so there are some goof tutes on this site that will explain it to you.  
If you just want some text to appear try this :  
Create a new mc, inside the mc type your message, drag the mc on stage, give it an instance name ( say) messageBox, click on message box and open the movie clip actions panel and put this code :  
[AS] onClipEvent(load){  
this.\_visible = 0;  
}

// then on your button

on(rollOver){  
messageBox.\_visible = 1;  
}  
on(rollOut){  
messageBox.\_visible = 0;  
}[/AS]

You might want to check my syntax as it is a while since I worked in 5 or used a flash button

Hope it helps
