```auto

	//specifies the size of the movie stage
	movieWidth = 300;
	movieHeight = 200;
	//variables that will modify the falling snow
	i = 1+Math.random()*2;
	k = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
	//giving each snowflake unique characteristics
	this._xscale = this._yscale=50+Math.random()*100;
	this._alpha = 75+Math.random()*100;
	this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
	this._y = 10+Math.random()*movieHeight;//changed this line
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	//putting it all together
	rad += (k/180)*Math.PI;
	this._x -= Math.cos(rad);
	this._y -= i;//changed this line
	if (this._y<=0) {//changed this line
		this._y = movieHeight+5;//changed this line

	if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
