Oh yeah, and you can remove this line… I just noticed it is used nowhere else in the script…
xmovement = _root._xmouse;
thanks =) I’ll use your code and give you credit for helping me in the tutorial.
Cheers!
Kirupa :sigh:
You don’t have to give me credit Kirupa.
bump =)
Well I did some more to the code…
onClipEvent (load) {
movieHeight = 200;
movieWidth = 300;
i = 1+Math.random()*2;
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
this._xscale = this._yscale=50+Math.random()*100;
this._alpha = 75+Math.random()*100;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -10+Math.random()*movieHeight;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
rad += (k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x -= Math.cos(rad);
this._y += i;
if (this._y>=movieHeight) {
this._y = -5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
}
}
What once took up 25 lines of code according to the Actions Panel now takes up 22 lines of code. Not much, but a start I guess.
lost and K-man: Can you make the snow acumulate in to piles?
phil: I would love to read one of you columns
[SIZE=1]ps: if kirupa won´t let you do it, start a thread on random section called: phil´s unsphonsored phun column[/SIZE]:bad:
=)
Hey Phil,
There is no reason why you can’t ask ray nicely to allow you to post along with you. It’s up to his discretion though 
Cheers!
Kirupa :bad:
Accumulate into piles eh? Ummmm… I don’t have that kind of knowledge man…lol.
me thinks you´re holding it back from us:bad:
Well I do know you can’t do it with the above script.
THe above script creates 50 snowflakes, and when they get out of the borders of your movie they go back to _y=-5, so if they were to accumulate all 50 snowflakes will just hit the ground and stay there and it will stop snowing.
So something like that requires a different script.
I´ve noticed that.
I´ve tried some hit test thing, but with no sucess. 
Well you can probably just be like…
if(this._y>= movieHeight){
this._y = movieHeight;
}
But this only allows for it to build up on one _y coordinate so it won’t actually pile up.
Ok, here is what I came up with with the code.
Probably not finished yet, I want to add a tree, or a snowman or something…lol.
:q:
No, that is just what the script looks like with the code I used.
I already said I don’t know how to pile it up
If you wanted to make it pile, why don’t you just, manually, make a small pile of snow in a movieClip, and then as time goes on, increase the demensions of it. That way it would look like it was accumulating.
Smart hack… but not as cool as actual piling snow :)…lol.
