Hi…

Im kind of new to Flash MX action script…  
I was just playing around with some of the samples, examples snowflakes.  
The problem is that I want the snowflakes in Scene 1 and I dont want the snowflakes to keep on running to Scene 2.  
I tried putting stop(); to the action script, that didnt worked because I will not be able to go to Scene 2.  
Been looking at the coding zillion times, but still I cant figure out…

Is there anybody can help me with my problem?

Thank you
