When I try to enter the first piece of coding on this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.htm), I am given a output message stating this,

Clipboard Actions: Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances  
onClipEvent (load) {

Clipboard Actions: Line 16: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

Can any1 help to resolve this problem as I have no idea how to do it.  
:q:

Thanks for the help  
🙂
