.Let's get started.
1.Draw a snow flake. (Using circle tool)
2.Select it and conert it to a symbol ( Ctrl+F8 ). Press movie clip, but don't click "ok" yet. Where it says "Linkage" click on export for action script.
3.For identifier put in, "flake".
4.Than put in following action script:
CODE
amount = 100;
mWidth = Stage.width;
mHeight = Stage.height;
for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
thisFlake = this.attachMovie("flake", "flake"+i, i);
with (thisFlake) {
_x = Math.random()*mWidth;
_y = Math.random()*mHeight;
_xscale = _yscale=_alpha=40+Math.random()*60;
}
thisFlake.yspeed = Math.random()*2+ .1;
thisFlake.increment = -0.025+Math.random()*0.05;
thisFlake.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.radians += this.increment;
this._y += this.yspeed;
this._x += Math.sin(this.radians);
if (this._y>=mHeight) {
this._y = -10;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
if (this._x>=mWidth || this._x<=0) {
this._y = -10;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
}
}
mWidth = Stage.width;
mHeight = Stage.height;
for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
thisFlake = this.attachMovie("flake", "flake"+i, i);
with (thisFlake) {
_x = Math.random()*mWidth;
_y = Math.random()*mHeight;
_xscale = _yscale=_alpha=40+Math.random()*60;
}
thisFlake.yspeed = Math.random()*2+ .1;
thisFlake.increment = -0.025+Math.random()*0.05;
thisFlake.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.radians += this.increment;
this._y += this.yspeed;
this._x += Math.sin(this.radians);
if (this._y>=mHeight) {
this._y = -10;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
if (this._x>=mWidth || this._x<=0) {
this._y = -10;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
}
}
The code is very simple. I don't think it's any need to explain.
You can change the number of snowflakes by modifying :
CODE
amount = 100;
Hope it helped,
Cheers!
