Dynamic event handlers

1

So I found this really great snow effect (on this site actually), but its coded for flash 5. Because of the onClipEvent (enterFrame) code, I can’t make it stop after 15 seconds. Well, I don’t know HOW to make it stop after 15 seconds. does anyone? if not, can someone help me throw this code into a function so that I can apply a getTimer(); to it and stop it after 15 seconds?

Heres the code:

onClipEvent (load) {
//variables
width = 305;
height = 250;
//random x,y, and alpha
this._xscale = this._yscale=50+Math.random()100;
this._alpha = 20+Math.random()50;
//random x and y for flakes
this._x = -width+Math.random()(3width);
this._y = -10+Math.random()*height;
//speed and trigonometric value
i = 1+Math.random()*2;
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()Math.PI;
rad = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// horizontal movement
rad += (k/180)Math.PI;
xmovement = _root._xmouse;
this._x -= Math.cos(rad)+(xmovement-(width/2))/50;
// vertical movement
this._y += i;
// remove clips when they misbehave (overstep boundaries)
if (this._x>(width+50)) {
this._x = -45;
this._y = Math.random()height2;
}
if (this._x<-50) {
this._x = width+45;
this._y = Math.random()height2;
}
if (this._y>=height) {
this._y = -50;
this._x = -width+Math.random()(3width);
}
}
