Great ideas, meanwhile I did a work around.
I did find a way to supposedly use javascript to get label of current frame
(using tcurrentlabel) which I never got working. I do hear that in Flash 9 it is all easy as can be, just say what's my label and it tells you.

why can't you just use this on the first frame :
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this._currentframe==30){
// do something
}
}
cheers!

this is better to ensure you're not overriding an old handler and also to
delete it after its purpose is no longer needed
function fireEventOnFrame(frameNumber:Number){
//backup older enterframe handler
var oldEnterFrame=(this.onEnterFrame==undefined|this.onEnterFrame==null)?
this.onEnterFrame : null;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
oldEnterFrame();
if(this._currentframe==frameNumber){
// broadcast onFrameReached
broadcaster.dispatch({type: "onFrameReached"});
//if there was no old enterframe handler delete this handler
if(oldEnterFrame==null)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
}
