I am using the wonderful snow routine found on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) and it looks great.

However, I want the snow to fall behind some text that is on the screen. I have my snow layer below my text layer, but the snow is still appearing in front of the text.

Here is the code that creates/duplicates the snowflakes:

for (k=0; k\<90; k++) {  
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, “snow”+k, k);  
}

I think it is creating new layers that are on top of my text layer.

How do I still create the new snow layers without having them appear on top of the text? I tried playing with swapDepth, but had not luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks,

Chris
