That is way over complicated! This is easy to do.

Create a button (on your stage). Click and it, inserting this action (need help with this let me know)

on (release) {
popup.gotoAndStop (2);
}

Now, insert a white box (your popup box) on your screen wherever you want it. Click on it, and convert it to a movie called mc_popup (we use the mc_ to organize / keep all the mc's (movie contents) together neatly in our library. No real reason for it. You can use folders in your library or whatever if you prefer. Now, click on the MC and give it an instance name of popup (extremely important). After that, open the mc (double click on the popup box) for editing.

Insert a keyframe at frame 2. Make sure both frame one and frame two have the white box. Delete the box in keyframe 1, leaving the box only in keyframe 2. Place a stop (); action on both frames.

Add a close button to the box. On the close button insert an action:

on (release) {
this.gotoAndStop (1);
}

Add your content. If you want a scroller, slightly more complicated. Try adding a dynamic text box and component scroller; I think that will work. Need help let me know. If you just want to add a line of text or small paragraph, you should be good to go.

If you want to shade the background of everything else on the stage when it pops up, insert another layer beneath your popup box; add a black box covering the entire stage, and transparent (80% or whatever you prefer). If you want the popup to fade in. Change gotoAndStop (2) to gotoAndPlay (2) and add a fade tween from, say for example, frame 2 to 10; where you'll have your close button and stop action.

Hope this makes sense!
