Problems with Falling Snow 2.0 tutorial

I’m an almost complete newbie when it comes to Flash MX 2004. I created “Falling Snow 2.0” and got the following error messages.

Error Symbol=snow, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (load) {

Error Symboe=snow, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 16: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks so much.
