I am having a hard time finding something that really works. Basically I need a movieclip to load a popup window.

I have have IDs on each thumbnail, that ID is loaded in the MC. Then once the ID is stored, I will basically be calling it like getURL(“idTag”+“htm”), or something like that. But I need each window to be opened into a popup.
