Hi, with the falling snow tutorial ([click here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.htm)), how do you make the snow rise up? I sorta did it but the snow doesn’t reappear where it should. Can you help me? Here’s the code. You can download the original from the provided link, thanks.

onClipEvent (load) {  
// specifies the size of the movie stage  
movieWidth = 300;  
movieHeight = 500;  
// variables that will modify the falling snow  
i = 1+Math.random()\*2;  
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()\*Math.PI;  
// giving each snowflake unique characteristics  
this.\_alpha = 75+Math.random()\*100;  
this.\_y = 10+Math.random()\*movieheight;  
this.\_x = 10+Math.random()\*movieWidth;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// putting it all together  
rad += (k/180)\*Math.PI;  
this.\_y-= i;  
if (this.\_y\>=movieHeight) {  
this.\_y = +5;  
}  
if ((this.\_x\>=movieWidth) || (this.\_x\<=0)) {  
this.\_y = +5;  
}  
}
