Hello - I learned alot from the snow flake tutorial ( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow2.htm )
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 300;
movieHeight = 200;
//variables that will modify the falling snow
i = 1+Math.random()*2;
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
//giving each snowflake unique characteristics
this._xscale = this._yscale=50+Math.random()*100;
this._alpha = 75+Math.random()*100;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -10+Math.random()*movieHeight;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//putting it all together
rad += (k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x -= Math.cos(rad);
this._y += i;
if (this._y>=movieHeight) {
this._y = -5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -5;
}
}
My one questions is…I copied and pasted the exact code into another .fla file, and for some reason…the snow flakes fall straight down, instead of oscilating a little side to side
Author - Help!
Thank you :snug:
oops wrong Link…
btw what does that little red flag mean in the frame? I think that might be my problem, since it is the only difference. The movie clip from Kirupa has it, and mine does not :panda:
