Hi  
I love the falling snow and imported it in a flashscene as part of my happy newyear message.

I made it in a new layer and because I only want it to start snowing at a certain framenumber. I just made the instance of the movieclip (snow) at that framenumber. So far so good.

Now I want it to stop snowing after you release a button (the one that also restarts the rest of the scene).  
I can’t manage to find the correct code for it (tried: this.snow.stop, removemovie, unload). I don’t know a lot about actionscripts so I probably make a stupid mistake.

Who can help me stop the snow from falling?
