Store and Recall frame numbers?

Is there a way to store the number of the frame currently playing in actionscript, and then recall that frame number later?

Any help is appreciated.

PHP Code:

---

var theframe:Number;
theframe = _currentframe 


---

and then when you need to know what frame was saved, just use:

PHP Code:

---

trace(theframe) 


---

later on.
