I'm trying to create an animation that has snowflakes falling in the background. I imaging that the flakes would gracefully move back and forth as it falls to the ground - much like a feather.

I know I could accomplish this by tweening keyframes, but I think it's time that I made things a bit easier on myself. There has to be a way to achieve this effect through actionscript and random numbers.

Does anybody out there know of a tutuorial that might help me to learn this type of actionscripting?

Thanks in advance!
