Hello,

```
   I have movie with a TV on it and I have another movie with the snow effect that Kirupa has in one of his tutorials. I want to get the snow to just show within the tv screen. I have tried to copy all the frames of the snow movie into a movie clip and then copy all the files from the snow effect library over to the TV screen movie along witht he clip. When I the movie clip that I created in the Snow effect movie, into the TV movie, I get and error from Flash saying my comp may become unresponsive because of a script. Can it be done the way I am trying to do it by taking all the contents of the Snow effect movie and putting it into a clip and then copying it over to the TV movie and then just putting the clip onto a fram in the TV movie? I am new to all this so please be patient.

```

Attached are the the two FLAs that I am talking about if you want to see what I am working with. Again, I want to the snow effect to only show in the tv screen.

Thanks,  
M.
