say i came up with a function like this:

[AS]  
function addSnowflake():Void {  
var depth:Number = this.getNextHighestDepth();  
var snowflakeClip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(“circle”, “snowflakeClip”+depth, depth);  
var scaleFactor:Number = Math.random()\*80+20;  
}  
[/AS]

how do i disable it with a press of a button?

umm, if you guys are kind enough, how do you think i can control the number of snowflakes…

thanks and please help!
