ActionScript 2.0 :: Error With Links Via External Text File

This is driving me insane, because I actually had it working once and now I can't do it.

I have a .txt file that contains:

Code:
&solutionslink=/solutions/index.hml

In my .fla, attached to my button I have the following:

Code:
on (release)
{
getURL(solutionslink);
}

But when I hit the link I get //webserver/undefined instead of //webserver/solutions.html

I've done a trace and I get "/solutions/index.html"
