Simple go to frame (contents of field) script

[Trentent]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with one of my scripts and I can't figure it out.
I have it set so that the I have a object on stage that, when
clicked, puts it's current frame into a field. On the frame that this
action goes to, is another objected, that when clicked, needs to go
back to the previous frame. The thing is, the frame it is going to is
one, so it's easy enough to use "go to frame X" but when going back,
there are many frames that it could go to. My plan was to put the
contents of the frame into the field and to go back, simply have the
script read the field and go to the proper frame.

Here is my script:

-- Script that goes to the prespecified frame
on mouseUp me
put the frame into field 243
go to frame "serviceproperties"
end

--Script that goes back to the previous frame
property theString

on mouseUp me
set theString = (line 1 of field 243)
go to frame theString
end

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

I guess I should put that the script errors out on "go to frame
theString", but I do not know why. Can anyone help me out?
