Move by a predefined number of frames in the timeline.jsx

/*

try{
var framesToMove = -5;  //make this a negative to move backwards
app.project.activeItem.time = app.project.activeItem.time + framesToMove * app.project.activeItem.frameDuration;
}
catch (e) {}

How can this be modified to move by fractions of a second instead of number of frames? E.g.:

comp FPS = 24 then 0.5 sec = 12 frames;
comp FPS = 30 then 0.5 sec = 15 frames;
etc.

Thanks in advance!

Remove the multiplication by the frameDuration:

var timeToMove = -5;  //in seconds
app.project.activeItem.time = app.project.activeItem.time + timeToMove;

Excellent . . . and so simple. Thanks! :D
