The selected animation sequence. Even though the hud says frame, it really means <strong>FRAMEGROUP.</strong> A framegroup can contain a single frame, or multiple frames. A frame in a framegroup is known as a <strong>POSE</strong>. If a framegroup contains multiple poses then it will be seen automatically as an animation sequence. The original id1 models use framegroups consisting of 1 pose each. They didn't utilize framegroups correctly at all. That's why their animations can't be played back in the modelviewer, you can only view them as individual poses.<br/>
