I need help on how to make the Falling Snow 2.0 tutorial. I’ve been following the instruction thoroughly but for some reason there were always errors on “onClipEvent”. I hope someone can help and guide me to do the Falling Snow.  
Thanks alot i’ll be waiting for your help guys.  
Peace

Here is my .fla file : [http://www.angelfire.com/me4/dean/3.fla](http://www.angelfire.com/me4/dean/3.fla)

And here is my code in the

```auto
 tags: 
action: Frame 1 --&gt;&gt;&gt; 
snowflakes = 75;
do {
   duplicateMovieClip(snow, "snow"+k, k);
   k++;
} while (k != snowflakes);

snow, &lt;snow&gt; --&gt;&gt;&gt; 

 onClipEvent (load) {
	//variables
	width = 300;
	height = 200;
	//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()*(3*width);
	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&gt;(width+50)) {
		this._x = -45;
		this._y = Math.random()*height*2;
	}
	if (this._x&lt;-50) {
		this._x = width+45;
		this._y = Math.random()*height*2;
	}
	if (this._y&gt;=height) {
		this._y = -50;
		this._x = -width+Math.random()*(3*width);
	}
}
```

1. create snow movieclip (that little white circle)
2. set it’s instance name to “snow”
3. change the for-while loop in the main timeline and set an initial value to the variable k before that loop.
4. add the load and enterframe code to the snow movieclip
5. I think that was it 😉
