Hello. I am learning flash…kinda new so sorry if my question is stupid.  
I am doing the flash snow tutorial (version 3 for flash 8) and I wanted to know if there is a way to mask the snow effect? I want it to only snow inside of a specific graphic that has a weird shape and I am lost on how to do it.  
Thanks, and I hope this is a good question.
