PLEASE HELP with popup windows in Flash MX

I am trying to make a website menu with Flash, that has buttons that when pressed, create new fixed-sized pop-up windows. The website that has the flash html right now is http://www.theugly-club.com/uglymenu.html . In the action script for each button I put :
 getURL(javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes'));
For some reason it says that there is an error with this... I also put the following code in the www.theugly-club.com/monthly page:

<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly', 'monthly', 'clothing','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,
scrollbars=yes') {
newWindow=window.open('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly', 'monthly', 'clothing','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,
scrollbars=yes'); }
</script>

something isn't working...
Any suggestions?

newWindow=window.open('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly Visit through proxy', 'monthly', 'clothing','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,
scrollbars=yes');

"here is something to much:" - what does thi mean? I'm confused... where would I paste that code? And if I used that code, would I have to change the html on my webpage?

do you checked teh informationm on teh reference? the url is bad and you have two names for the popup...

i probably sound very stupid, and I'm sorry for not understanding, but it is like you're speaking a different language than I am. I am so confused. When I try to publish my flash work... it says my error is :
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 8, frame=55:Line 1: ')' or ',' expected
     getURL(javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes'));

This is the correct one:

getURL(javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');

I removed a ) in the end

but there must be two brackets...(one from the JS and one from the geturl)

Oh right. Now (that I drinked my first coffee...) I think the solution is this :

Code:

getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");

getURL needs a string to work, right?

I think there is somthing different, he needs to post here the .fla and the target html file otherwise we can't solve it...

I did what nick said.... and I got this:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 8, frame=55:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
     getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");

ok... thank you so much everyone for your help so far....
Here is the target url: http://www.theugly-club.com/uglymenu.html
and the .fla file: http://www.theugly-club.com/uglymenu.fla

First name your button instances and use this AS code instead:

Code:

on (press) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.theugly-club.com/monthly','monthly','height=600,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");
}

in your html (header) must be this javascript code:

Code:

function MM_openNewWindow(theURL,winName,features) {
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
