Works for me, with the frame as the parameter. I don't get why people
want primitive linear cycling, though. Geometric navigation is far 
better as it makes more use of your spatial memory. (Although, the 
situation seems to degrade in 3D -- or 2.5D anyway [1] -- and yet 
the "oooh! shiny!" herd proclaims how 3D interfaces are the future
and will improve usability. My hand-wavy explanation is that our 
visual input is actually 2-dimensional, with any 3D perception the
result of the stereoscopic effect.)
