I saw the snow effect that Kirupa has on the site adn decided I’d have a go at it, I get it to work nicely and it all looks very pretty. Yet for some reason whenever I increase the movie width in the actionscript over 400 pixels, the snow goes off center. Does anyone know why and how to fix this?

I could do, …

```
            onClipEvent (load) {
//movie width/height
height = 200;
width = 300;
            }

```

Is that the correct AS for editing the size of the movie? Another problem I’ve just come across is when I use a non standard font in the falling snow movie it shows the text in times new roman and not the font I had choosen.

Yes, adjust that to your movie width & height.  
For the text problem, embed the font.  
Run a search on the forums if you have no idea what im talking about.
