I did the falling snow tutorial. and when ever I tested it said that there was script in this movie that was making Flash run slowly, then asked me if I wanted to abadon the script.

I thought I had mistyped something. So to be sure I started over and copy and pasted all the script this time and still the same problem. I downloaded his finised fla file and it worked fine. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have a ‘forever loop’ somewhere in your swf. Pay specific attention to the looping parts of your scripts.

No prob. This is the code that is in the one little snow flake

onClipEvent (load) {  
//variables  
width = 300;  
height = 200;  
//random x,y, and alpha  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale=50+Math.random()_100;  
this.\_alpha = 20+Math.random()50;  
//random x and y for flakes  
this.\_x = -width+Math.random()(3_width);  
this.\_y = -10+Math.random()\*height;  
//speed and trigonometric value  
i = 1+Math.random()\*2;  
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()_Math.PI;  
rad = 0;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// horizontal movement  
rad += (k/180)Math.PI;  
xmovement = \_root.\_xmouse;  
this.\_x -= Math.cos(rad)+(xmovement-(width/2))/50;  
// vertical movement  
this.\_y += i;  
// remove clips when they misbehave (overstep boundaries)  
if (this.\_x\>(width+50)) {  
this.\_x = -45;  
this.\_y = Math.random()height2;  
}  
if (this.\_x\<-50) {  
this.\_x = width+45;  
this.\_y = Math.random()height2;  
}  
if (this.\_y\>=height) {  
this.\_y = -50;  
this.\_x = -width+Math.random()(3_width);  
}  
}

I understand about 30% of this script. But I don’t see any anything that would make it mess up the computer. But any help would be appreciated

I thought that too. But when I downloaded the source file from the tutorial, It worked fine.
