How to create a pop-up window in Animate?

Question

Hello, Animate newbie here. I was following the animated clickable infographic tutorial and I am lost. Is there a step-by-step guide to creating a pop-up window in Animate? I want the user to be able to click a button and for a window to pop up with more information, or at least a hoover over a button for more information. I tried all of the other guides and downloaded files attached but I am still lost in what to do. In the tutorial there is no background to how the button is set up and how to make the pop-up window appear.  Please help!

assuming this is an html5/convas project:

if you really want a pop-up window use window.open. use google to get more info.

but you probably don't want to open a new window. you probably just want to toggle a movieclip (eg, info). in that case you can use:

this.button.addEventListener("click",buttonF.bind(this));

function buttonF(){

if(this.info.alpha<.5){

this.info.alpha=1;

} else {

this.info.alpha=0;

}
