Help with Snow and Actionscript

[alex_j]

Hi, I have to create a winter scene in flash, I have created a moving background upon which a character will be added I have also created snow using a script I found online.
Everything works fine apart from when the scene moves back to the first keyframe when it loops for the background, the snow stops and starts again, is there a solution to just keep that running at all times??

Thanks

It would be easier to understand if you upload your code.

Sure heres the code:

    init = function () {

    width = 340;
    // pixels
    height = 220;
    // pixels
    max_snowsize =3;
    // pixels
    snowflakes = 100;
    // quantity
    for (i=0; i<snowflakes; i++) {

    t = attachMovie("snow", "snow"+i, i);
    t._alpha = 20+Math.random()*60;
    t._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
    t._y = -(height/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*height);
    t._xscale = t._yscale=50+Math.random()*(max_snowsize*10);
    t.k = 1+Math.random()*2;
    t.wind = -1.5+Math.random()*(1.4*3);
    t.onEnterFrame = mover;

    }

    };
    mover = function() {

    this._y += this.k;
    this._x += this.wind;
    if (this._y>height+10) {

    this._y = -20;

    }
    if (this._x>width+20) {

    this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
    this._y = -20;

    } else if (this._x<-20) {

    this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
    this._y = -20;



    }

    }
    init();

go back to frame2 instead of frame1.

Wouldn't that mess up the animation for the moving background, not make it seamless?

[gparis]

move the whole animation 1 frame so you can go back to frame2 instead of 1.
Keyframe1 obviously has the duplication via attachMovie, therefore resets the initialisation. You can't go back to that frame.

Thanks for your help works perfectly
