Why don't do as I always do, try and see what happends?

I would have tried:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.wgccc.co.uk/ftpfolder/rules.pdf");
}

if you have a folder in your site named "ftpfolder".

I tried that and it works for me with a .doc-file.

Maybe they are not so quick afterall -- looks like you need to read the help files
