Convert String to Int not working (IS THIS A BUG?)

[krane]

I added the next frame at the recommendation of people upthread
The -1 was because I was storing the items in an array, and the array starts at 0 whereas my scene #s start at 1. So, I subtract one to get the array number. But the problem is that it's the being stored in the array as -1, not as 0.

stop the whole game logic right at the convert string to int and see if its doing a proper conversion

if it is, than the problem is somewhere else
note that the variable value you see is the current one, not the resulting one from the operation
