actionscript question

[Bomee]

I wanted to add a snow effect to my latest movie, but it continues to play in every scene... How can I make it stop where I want it to stop?

thanks in advance :)

[joshy24]

how about deleting it where you want it to stop?

[Bomee]

how exactly do I delete it? i tried adding a blank keyframe

*is so noob* haha

Show the code.

[Bomee]

onClipEvent(load) {
this._alpha=random(70)+20;
this._width=this._height=random(4)+4;
this._y=random(640);
this._x=random(480);
fall_speed = 1+Math.random()*2;
k=-Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
rad=0;
centerX=320;
centerY=240;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
rad+=(k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x+=Math.cos(rad)+ms;
this._y+=fall_speed;
ms=(centerX-_root._xmouse)/100;
if (this._y>480) {
this._y=0;
}
if (this._x>640) {
this._x=0;
}
if (this._x<0) {
this._x=640;
}
}

Just add an if statement.
Put this on the frames you want it to snow.

_root.snow = true;

and this on the ones you dont want it to.

_root.snow = false;

onClipEvent(load) {
this._alpha=random(70)+20;
this._width=this._height=random(4)+4;
this._y=random(640);
this._x=random(480);
fall_speed = 1+Math.random()*2;
k=-Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
rad=0;
centerX=320;
centerY=240;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(_root.snow == true){
rad+=(k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x+=Math.cos(rad)+ms;
this._y+=fall_speed;
ms=(centerX-_root._xmouse)/100;
if (this._y>480) {
this._y=0;
}
if (this._x>640) {
this._x=0;
}
if (this._x<0) {
this._x=640;
}
}

And you might be putting the movie clip on every frame.

thank you very much. i like your zelda mini game

just one more question, when you past the root= false code, you just do it on a new layer/frame?

again thanks!

What he said above.

[Bomee]

thanks guys. It didn't work, maybe because I'm doing something wrong, but i decided to make the snow into a movie, put it into a new layer, and use the load and unload movie commands

Thank you very much again :)
