#frame doesn't seem to work properly in 2.79b

posted to: Sampling

i have put #frame into the Seed parameter as shown at 3:30 in the video, but though the box turns purple, my number stays at 0 and doesn't change when i step through the timeline - whereas in the video the Seed # matches the fram number. i have extra little clock icon in the parameter slot, but toggling that doesn't seem to change anything. 

any thoughts on what i might be doing wrong will be gratefully received as this looks like a really useful feature.

thx, julian darley

    The little clock icon has been added since recording this video - It actually replaces the #frame functionality. So just turn that clock on and the seed will change each frame. Sorry for the confusion
