I am trying to learn Flash. I did the tutorial on [[COLOR=royalblue]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/snow.htm[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/snow.htm) exactly like it said but when I tried to view “Test Movie”, I get this message:

[COLOR=red] **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’  
init = function () { width = 300;// pixelsheight = 200;// pixelsmax\_snowsize = 10;// pixelssnowflakes = 50;// quantityfor (i=0; i\<snowflakes; i++) {t = attachMovie(“snow”, “snow”+i, i);t.\_alpha = 20+Math.random()_60;t.\_x = -(width/2)+Math.random()_(1.5_width);t.\_y = -(height/2)+Math.random()_(1.5_height);t.\_xscale = t.\_yscale=50+Math.random()_(max\_snowsize_10);t.k = 1+Math.random()2;t.wind = -1.5+Math.random()(1.4_3);t.onEnterFrame = mover;}};[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]Could someone please advise? I started from scratch several times to make sure I was following directions exactly. I am using Flash 8 professional.[/COLOR]
