Basic Examples  (2)Summary of the most common use cases

With default option settings, AnimationTimeIndex runs from 0 to 5:

Out[1]=1

Changing the DefaultDuration will change the maximum time index:

Out[1]=1

Scope  (1)Survey of the scope of standard use cases

Interactively changing a paused animator will also change the value of AnimationTimeIndex:

Out[1]=1

Possible Issues  (1)Common pitfalls and unexpected behavior

To change a running animator programmatically, change the value of AnimationTimeIndex, not the animation variable:

Out[1]=1
