Importing actionscript code from a text file

I’d like to keep some ActionScript code in a text file so it is easy to update. I’ve been trying to make a test, but it doesn’t work. It traces correctly, but doesn’t launch the code. Here’s the code I’m using.


blahBlahText = new LoadVars();
blahBlahText.load("textDoc.txt");
blahBlahText.onLoad = function(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		launchCode = blahBlahText.launchCode;
		button_mc.onRelease = function() {
			launchCode;
			trace(launchCode);
			// trace returns:
			// getURL("http://www.cnn.com", "_blank");
		};
	}
};

Somehow I need to activate the imported code?

Thanks for any help.
