Hi Kirupa,

I used your snow tutorial to create a snowing scene form my flash movie.

The problem I’m having is that its slowing down the movie making it really slow. I tried breaking out the snow into its own SWF and then loading it when needed but its still slowing things down. Could the problem because I’m duplicating the snow clip 200 times? Any suggestions on how to optimize?

Thanks.

Tommy
