You can only do that if that window is opend by your website and if the URL
of that pop-up is also your website. If it's an advertisement it's not
possible from your mainpage.

You can scan for all child windows and then focus(); the one with that name.
But you could also do something like this:

var info=null;
function check()
{
if (info!=null)
{
if (!info.closed)
info.focus();
}
else
{

info=window.open("URL_of_AAA","","scrollbars=1,menubar=1,status=1,width=560,
height=402,left=35,top=110");
info.document.close();
}
}

and then set in the window that you open something like:

<body onclose="parent.info=null;">
