Hi,
Like I said in a previous post Im still kinda new to flash but I really thought the snow tutorial was kick *** so I played around with it and come up with something I thought looked pretty neat so I figured Id post it.
I don’t think that you need a mask to achieve the snow effect. The tutorials here are meant to show users how to create an effect, but still have a broad enough explanation so that the skills taught can be used in a variety of situations.
A mask is an interesting thing to do with the effect, but it doesn’t really fit in to the “Learn how to make the snow effect” tutorial.
