Flash Falling Snow with Random Functions and Movie Clips

From Adrien-Luc Sanders, former About.com Guide

You’re probably ready to be done by now, but we’ve still got a little bit more to do (don’t worry, it’s not much). Once you’ve finished assigning ActionScripts to the snowflake and adjusting for the type and speed of motion that you want, return to your stage and, on a new layer created just for your actions, right-click on the first frame (you should only have one) and select Actions to open the Actions panel.

The last thing that we’re going to do is duplicate the single snowflake to create an entire storm of random snowflake motion.
