I’m using Flash 2004. I currently applied the Snow tutorial to a project I’m working on (using the tutorial for 2004). I have the following 4 errors which I have no clue on how to fix (I’m new to this and only started playing with ActionScripts). Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this? Maybe I can send you the whole file so you can find what I’ve done wrong?
