Snow effect without the mouse effects required [asdvanced snow from free source]

Hi all.

Managed to find this really cool snow effect but trying to remove the mouse interaction, but in doing so the snow seems to stop or fade after five or ten seconds due to removing the mouse elements, however if they are in place without any hit with the mouse the snow still continues to fall regardless so in effect I need the snow to keep running without any effect from the mouse, here is the actionscript as below. Any help would be great.

cheers

	} else if (thisSpeed == 2) {

	} else {
		total = 400;
	}
}
setQuality(_global.speed);

Thanks for the reply, yes I am aware of that snow scene, but this is much more advanced and is more realistic, please have a look at the code again.

Cheers

errr, no, you need to look at the code again. They do exactly the same thing. The one I posted just doesnt have the mouse interaction which is exactly what you said you wanted.
