Current - FrameSet current Frame index   

Description:
This attribute gives the index of the Frame which is to be regarded as the "current" Frame within a FrameSet. The default is the most recent Frame added to the FrameSet (this Frame always has an index equal to the FrameSet's Nframe attribute).

Type:
Integer.

Class Applicability:
FrameSet
All FrameSets have this attribute.

Notes:
  • Inverting a FrameSet (inverting the boolean sense of its Invert attribute, with the astInvert function for example) will interchange the values of its Base and Current attributes.
