I want to put a twist on Kirupas excellent snow fall tutorial…

Say I design multiple movieclips (snow for Christmas, pumpkins for halloween, fireworks for bonfire night etc) can I use AS to detect the users local date and call the relevant symbol to rain down?

This would also save me having to design and post a different SWF every occasion! I could design for lots of occasions.

Any ideas?
