I’m designing a site for a bar, and in the header I have a beer mug. I am trying to reverse the code so that the snow goes up (creating a carbonation effect). I deleted the horizontal code, and negated the vertical code, but now the effect doesn’t continue. It’s just one group of bubbles and that’s it. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Here is my action script:  
onClipEvent (load) {  
//variables  
width = 751;  
height = 200;  
//random x,y, and alpha  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale=50+Math.random()_100;  
this.\_alpha = 20+Math.random()50;  
//random x and y for flakes  
this.\_x = -width+Math.random()(3_width);  
this.\_y = -10+Math.random()\*height;  
//speed and trigonometric value  
i = 1+Math.random()_2;  
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()Math.PI;  
rad = 0;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// vertical movement  
this.\_y -= i;  
// remove clips when they misbehave (overstep boundaries)  
if (this.\_x\>(width+50)) {  
this.\_x = -45;  
this.\_y = Math.random()height2;  
}  
if (this.\_x\<-50) {  
this.\_x = width+45;  
this.\_y = Math.random()height2;  
}  
if (this.\_y\>=height) {  
this.\_y = -50;  
this.\_x = -width+Math.random()(3_width);  
}  
}
