I have a button in flash that says “contact us for more info”. The address is pulled from a txt file. When you click the button, it will open your e-mail client with this address: [beth@28282design.com](mailto:beth@28282design.com) but it adds an “}” and I don’t know why?! Help!

Here is the link that I have been playing with:

[http://2828design.com/test/test\_3.html](http://2828design.com/test/test_3.html)

my actions layer says:  
loadVariablesNum (“beth.txt”,0);

my button say:  
on(release){  
getURL(“mailto:” +email);  
}

my txt file says:  
&email=beth@2828design.com

any suggestions! Thanks so much
