0. New movie - fps 25, size 600x400.
1. Make a snowflake.
2. Put it into its own movieclip, put it on the stage with an instance name of "snow".
3. Make a new layer titled "actions". On the (only) frame, put these actions:
code:


for (n=0; n<50; n++) {

	duplicateMovieClip(_root.snow, "snow"+n, n);

}

4. Put this on the snowflake clip:
code:


onClipEvent (load) {

	movieWidth = 600;

	movieHeight = 400;

	

	i = 1+Math.random()*2;

	n = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;

	

	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;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	rad += (n/180)*Math.PI;

	this._x -= Math.cos(rad);

	this._y += i;

	if (this._y>=movieHeight) {

			this._y = -5;

	}

	if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {

		this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;

		this._y = -5;

	}

}


5. Kick back with a coffee and your mittens and chill.
