Hello, Im currently working on a movie project and i was wondering how to make it stop raining.  
Here is the script for the rain:  
for (i = 0; i \< 500; i++)  
{  
duplicateMovieClip(“drop”, “drop” + i, i);  
setProperty(“drop” + i, \_alpha, random(60));  
++i;  
} // PART 1 SCRIPT

for (i = 0; i \< 500; i++)  
{  
duplicateMovieClip(“drop”, “drop” + i, i);  
setProperty(“drop” + i, \_alpha, random(60));  
++i;  
} // PART 1 SCRIPT

Are both of those “Part 1” scripts in your code? or did you accidentally include it twice?

Either way, we don’t have enough information to know how to stop your rain. The code you posted immediately adds 500 drops to the screen at random alphas. I don’t know what happens after that, if there’s anything else going on, or if this loop gets called repeatedly or what.

When the movie plays during main menu, the rain keeps playing in all scenes. I also tried to delete the movieclip but, it keeps showing up. Anyways, I decided to delete the rain because it was driving me nuts.
