Button and JavaScript link (help)

Question

I would like to know how to make a link to open in to a new
window and..., I have been using javascript links to open images in
small windows; <a href="images/samples/SampleSC.gif"
onclick="return popitup('images/samples/SampleSC.gif')"> These
links work in the html, and I would like to add this link to a
button(or something) in flash 8
The following is in my html to make the links work, but if I
just get the above link somehow imbedded in to a button I think it
will work from there
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function popitup(url) {
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=490,width=720,scrollbars=yes');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
</script>
I am so new to this. I have tried adding the following to the
action script but it did not work;
homepage_btn.onRelease = function () {
getURL("
http://www.macromedia.com",
"_blank");
I found the following ways to do this

but either I did not know how to use them or they did not work
The flash file I am working on is here:

(the links will be in the sample thumbnails)
Thank you, your time is appreciated!

All you need is one simple line in flash an none of the HTML
stuff.
getURL("javascript:n_name=window.open('page.htm','thewin','width=720,height=490,scrollbars =yes');void(0);");
Take note tho, this might not work tested locally. You need
to upload to server and
test it online.
Now, if you have multiple windows, change the "thewin" to
something like "thewin1" "thewin2" etc...
If you keep requesting window with same name, you end up
loading other content into it.
New name assure new object and new window made.
