Help and Info about Falling Snow 2.0 for MX 2004

programming flash
1

Hi there,

I tried the tutorial called “Falling Snow 2.0” for Flash MX 2004. It doesn’t work. Windows asks me to stop the action script. To make it work, I tried to modify the action-script-code which is used in the (first and only) frame of “snow_mc”. The original:

[font=Courier New][size=2]snowflakes = 75;
[color=#003366]do[/color] {
[color=#003366]duplicateMovieClip[/color](snow, [color=#003366]“snow”[/color]+k, k);
k++;
} [color=#003366]while[/color] (k != snowflakes);

[/size][/font] I replaced the original-code by this one:

[font=Courier New][size=2]for (k=0; k<75; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, “snow”+k, k);
}[/size][/font]

Now everthing is working fine (I inserted the snow-FX at www.bujinkan-bochum.de.vu). This code is taken from the tutorial “Creating Falling Snow” for MX . I do not know what the problem is. Is there anyone who can explain to me the problem with the original code? - Thanks a lot.

regards
Sebastian
