#' Get frame times from frames
#'
#' This function extracts the timestamps associated with each frame of a list of frames created using \code{\link{frames_spatial}} or \code{\link{frames_graph}} and returns them as a vector.
#'
#' @param frames list, list of frames created using \code{\link{frames_spatial}} or \code{\link{frames_graph}}.
#' @return A POSIXct vector of timestamps representing the time assoicated with each frame in \code{frames}.
#' 
#' @details \code{moveVis} stores the times represented by a frame as an attribute \code{"time"} for each \code{ggplot} frame.
