FLASH: convert to string and/or frame labels

[Rachel Bachman]

Hello all,


Is it possible to convert a numeric value to a string

in Flash 4? In my initial look-through of the expression 

editor i didn't see anything. 


What I want to be able to do is something along these lines:


set variable frameName = x (1, 5, 16, etc.)

set frameName + 1 = frameName

convert frameName to a string (ex. "6" not 6)


The reason I want to do this is that I want determine

which frame label I am on and then got to the next

frame label. In other words, I want to set up a flexible 

back and next button system using frame labels instead 

of scenes.


I've built a system using if/then but I am looking at working

with 30+ frame labels and would prefer a "simpler" solution.


any help is much appreciated,

rachel
