I have been trying unsuccessfully for nearly a week now to make a text pop-up. Not sure if that is the correct name of it, but it is one of those "pop-up" windows that is draggable, scrollable and close-able that you usually get when you click on a "read more" button from a flash site.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that will help out?
Thanks in advance

I've never seen a tutorial for that, but basically you just need to create a movieclip with a draggable area, and a close button.

Search on P2L for dragging, and you will see how it can be done.

for "closing" the movieclip you can use this script on a button:
yourPopup._visible  = false;

http://www.actionscript.org has quite a lot of nice tuts on scrolling and dragging also :D
