My recommendation is to check out the tutorials. Try this one for starters:

http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/variables/index.shtml

This site has several useful tutorials on the subject of variables. I guarantee if you look at these for a bit, things will fall into place.

There is one thing for certain with Flash: everything is within the realm of possibility. The question is, do you have the will to learn it.

flash has datatype like any other language but it's not very strict about them. "box" is a string and 2 is a number but Flash knows it can't convert "box" into a number so it goes the other way, converting 2 into a string ("2") which is then concatenated (added to the end of) to "box".
thus: "box" + 2 = "box2"
