Hi

I developed a pretty basic snow effect, and figured it would be worth sharing, especially around this time.

I can’t for the life of me remember where I got the main source from. All I know is someone on these forums shared it. So thank you to whom ever you are.

Features:  
Automatically plays in December only.  
Adjustable maximum flake size.  
Adjustable quantity.  
Only plays within the stages boundaries.  
On/off button always in top right hand corner.

Instructions:  
Copy the “snow” folder from the library (ctrl+L).  
Paste it into your own library.  
Click and drag “xmas” movie clip onto the stage.

Note:  
This is untested on Macs. Could any Mac users please let me know if it works please.

Thank you.
