Trouble loading external text...argggg!

Greetings,

  I am having troubles loading a varibale containing some text from an external .txt file. Here is the code:

function changeText(whichOne) {
        lv = new LoadVars();
        lv.load("files/map_log.txt");
        lv.onLoad = function(ok) {
                if (ok) {
            sootIntro.htmlText = this.whichOne;
        };
    };
};

ba.onRollOver = function() {
       changeText(this._name);
     };

This is loading from the text file “map_log.txt” this text:

&ba=<span class='header'>b1</span><br /><br /><p class='body'>While the effect of human activity on the global climate is hotly debated, physical signs of environmental change are all around us.</span></p>

This code does work correctly when I hard code “sootIntro.htmlText = this.ba;” but it only displays “undefined” when I don’t. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks a ton for your time!
