YES!! WORKS!

Thanks Man!
Actionscript Code:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addDrop);
myTimer.start();
var dripping:Drop = new Drop();
function addDrop(ev:TimerEvent):void
{
    dripping.ySpeed = 35 + Math.random() * 5;
    dripping.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    dripping.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, drip, false, 0, true);
     stage.addChild(dripping);
    }
   
function drip(e:Event):void {

    for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++) {

        dripping.y += dripping.ySpeed;

        if (dripping.y > 500 + Math.random() * 450) {
            dripping.x = Math.random() * 790;
            dripping.y = Math.random() * -5;
            e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, drip);
        e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
        }
    }
}
