Declaration
Parameters

The name of a frame.
Return Value
For predefined names, returns the receiver if name is “_self” or “_current”, returns the receiver’s parent frame if name is “_parent”, and returns the main frame if name is “_top”. Also returns the receiver if it is the main frame and name is either “_parent” or “_top.” For other names, this method returns the first frame that matches name
. Returns nil
if no match is found.
Discussion
This method searches the receiver and its descendants first, then the receiver’s parent and its children moving up the hierarchy until a match is found. If no match is found in the receivers hierarchy, this method will search for a matching frame in other main frame hierarchies.
