Syntax

C++

public int Index { get; set; }

Public Property Index As Integer

public: 
property int Index { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
}

Property Value

An integer value that indicates the index of the current frame during animation playback.

Remarks

You can use the Index property to skip frames during a playback if required.

Example

This example uses Index to skip frames during a playback
