It's all working now with a call to an external JS function to open the window....the annoying alert is a thing of the past.

Subject: Re: OT: Flash pop-up help
I posted this earlier, but I think it got lost when my mailserver went down.
Try calling
_javascript_:parent.function()
instead of
_javascript_:function()
I vaguely remember having to do something like that. Unfortunately, I
was working with a Flash developer who has all the FLA files, so I can't
just go check.
