That code would never work .. it has syntax errors (the extra comma)

Get rid of the command, and change 'add' to '+' ('add' is no longer
supported)

you're welcome.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.

that code wouldn't work in any version of flash. you could just remove that comma or better try:

add (concatenation (strings))
Deprecated since Flash Player 5. Macromedia recommends that you use the
add (+) operator when creating content for Flash Player 5 or later. This
operator is not supported in Flash Player 8 or later.
