Hi!

I just finished the tutorial to create the snow effect which i have downloaded from [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com).  
I want to use this as my background in another file which i have already created. How to do that? Will it work as background movie?

thanks

Save the snow movie. And in your movie that u want it, create a new layer. Make sure the layer is the lowest one. Create a empty movieclip and give it a instance name like holder.  
Set the y position and x position on the holder to 0.  
And then insert the action  
loadMovie(“snow.swf”, \_root.holder);

That´s one way u can do. or why not just copy the code and do the snow effect in your main movie?  
Cheers!
