It converts the variable args into a string. It's a bit of a hack, but used

often in JavaScript because of the language's weirdish handling of string vs

integer with variables.

Convert args to a string

In the movie called masthead, Tell Target named "rolls" on level "_flash0/" to

go to the frame that matches the value of (args - 1).

Not sure why they convert args to a string, only to convert it back to an

integer with "parseInt"...


FWIW,
