Snow1 – only 2 layers
Script/code
Insert the code under first layer, first frame: for (k=0; k<50; k++) { duplicateMovieClip(_root.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}

Script for object: 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;
