hey guys, new here
one thing I deffinately don’t know how to do is actionscript but I would like to learn, It seems extremely complicated. I have flash 8, but unfortunately only a flash MX bible (help book thats really big)
well my first question was answered so instead of making a new thread Im editing this one.
anyways heres my problem, I have a function that is used in a movie, it makes snow fall, But I do not want that snow to fall after about 100 frames later on from the point it starts snowing, soo basically how do I do this
also cant use buttons cause this is a movie
if you need a reference to what ive got then heres the code im using
init = function () {
width = 550;
// pixels
height = 400;
// pixels
max_snowsize = 10;
// pixels
snowflakes = 50;
// quantity
for (i=0; i<snowflakes; i++) {
t = attachMovie("snow", "snow"+i, i);
t._alpha = 20+Math.random()*60;
t._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
t._y = -(height/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*height);
t._xscale = t._yscale=50+Math.random()*(max_snowsize*10);
t.k = 2+Math.random()*2;
t.wind = -1.5+Math.random()*(1.4*3);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}
};
mover = function() {
this._y += this.k;
this._x += this.wind;
if (this._y>height+10) {
this._y = -20;
}
if (this._x>width+20) {
this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
this._y = -20;
} else if (this._x<-20) {
this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
this._y = -20;
}
}
init();
this is what makes the snow fall, how do I make it stop 100 frames later for example
