Context ($context )
Contains the object model that represents the Composition.
Context Properties
All of the following Context properties are read only:
The "Composition" object that represents the top of the Composition object model.
The "Result" object that represents the Result being produced for the currently playing Composition.
A "Band" object that represents the current Band according to the context in which the current script is executing. Null if there is no current Band.
An integer value that represents the "repeat index" of the current Band if the current Band repeats, according to the context in which the current script is executing. The first repeat starts at index zero. The value is -1 if there is no current Band, or the current Band does not repeat.
An integer value that represents the “play ordinal number” of the current Band. Starting with the number 0, each play of the Band is assigned a unique number. The numbers are contiguous (no gaps). The value is -1 if there is no current Band.
Play number sequences are maintained within the item’s parent only. For example, if a parent item repeats, then the child items inside each repeat of the parent will have their own play number sequence starting at 0.
An item will only have a non-zero play number if it repeats. The play number is equivalent to the repeat index, except that the play number is 0 for items that don’t repeat or have a repeat count of one, whereas the repeat index would be -1 in those cases.
