Hello all, today was my first time ever using Action Script. i just completed the Falling Snow tutorial on this website and had great success. I love the way it turned out and want to incorporate it into some of my Banner Ads but Google Ad Words has a strict policy of animations having a 30 second limitation.
I need the animation to stop and have tried placing { stop(); } in my time line but it doesn’t work. i did some research and i guess i need to find a way to signal an end of event within the snow flake movie clip. I cant find anything that works and i would really appreciate some help!
Please keep in mind that action script is completely new to me! With that in mind here is the script that i am using in my flash file:
