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](http://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
