-==What is frameLevel?==

-frameLevel is pretty much what it sounds like, it says what level your frame is on.

-==What is the difference between frameLevel and frameStrata?==
-Well first off, you can't set frameLevel in your <Frame> tag. frameLevel is dictated by XML nesting. Check this example out:
- <Frame name="MyFrame" frameStrata="DIALOG" parent="UIParent">
-   <Frames>
-     <Button name="MyButton">
-     </Button>
-   </Frames>
- </Frame>
-Since UIParent's frameLevel is 1, the frame we created here should be frameLevel 2 and the Button should be frameLevel 3.
-You can check a frame's level with Frame:GetFrameLevel() and you can set it with Frame:SetFrameLevel(). However, setting a frame's level is ill-advised. It is given its level automatically and it's best to leave it that way. If you need to change a frame's level in your own code, best thing to do is just nest your code differently.
-Note: If the parent of a frame is changed by your code, the frame levels are not adjusted to compensate.  You may need to adjust the frame's level to fix the way the frame displays.
-==Possible Values==
-* 0 - No parent
-* 1 - Parent is UIParent
-* 2 and higher...
