Level screen ending prematurely

[pokemonmasteraaron]

Hello,
I am attempting to add a dll call to the exp screen. This call has worked in all other locations I've added it, including the shop, battle text, etc.
the line is
$speaker.call(some_string)
This line causes the gain experience method to end prematurely, even when called from a method which is called by the method, E.G. PBScene's levelup
Why am I getting this behavior?
I thought it had something to do with one line if statements, but there are none around that point.
I'm pretty sure that code is rapped in a do loop, so if you break the loop I expect you'd get the same behavior.
Cheers,
Aaron

OK, I've researched it further, and it appears to be an issue when adding an int to a string, E.G. pkmnname+" grew to level "+curlevel
So, my new question is,
how can I cast an int to a string where this operaion would be successful?

"#{pkmnname} grew to level #{curlevel}!"

Ah, thanks!
I also discovered that this is valid
pkmnname+" grew to level "+curlevel.to_s
