Well, it’s scripted. Did you check the tutorials about scripted motion?

but its not mine, a friend send it to me, and he got somewere (I dunno were).  
But the AS is of Flash 4, maybe I´ll clean it up for ya, but if Kirupa is willing to open his code for us it would be better cause his snow is nicer than mine.

OK, if you have a clip of a snow ball in your library, linkage name _snow_, then this code should give you a start:

```auto
function snowFall(){
	this._x+=this.speedx;
	this._y+=this.speedy;
	if (this._y > Stage.height) this.removeMovieClip();
}

depth=0;
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
	mc=this.attachMovie("snow","snow"+depth,depth);
	mc._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
	mc._y=0;
	mc.speedx=Math.random()*10-5;
	mc.speedy=Math.random()*5+5;
	mc._xscale=mc._yscale=Math.random()*50+50;
	mc.onEnterFrame=snowFall;
	depth++;
	depth=depth%300;
}

```

pom :cowboy:

</div>

The basic idea is this: onEnterFrame, I attach a snowflake, put it at a random position, give it a random speed on both axis, a random size, and I make it fall, thanks to the snowFall function. Is there something you don’t understand in particular?

Well AS is something you learn blood.

You can’t open Flash and just know everything. It takes time and patience to learn. It is a language. Like C++ or Java or Javascript or DHTML, or VB, anything like that takes time to learn and time to perfect.
