Does flash know what frame and movie clip it's in at all times?

My problem is this:

I have a movie with a bunch of pictures going by in time to music.
I also have the same music synced up to words going by instead of pictures.

I want to have a button that will switch back and forth between pictures and words. To do this I need to know that frame number and movie clip when the button is clicked.

So lets say the movie is on MC: pictures5, frame 6… I want to swtich to text5(6)… but how can I find out what frame and what movie clip the play head is in when the button is clicked?

Thanks.
