help me with the snow

[jonwolfinger]

I went through the online tutorial for snow falling but im trying to creat an image over the snow and every layer i make it just has thesnow falling overit can you help me?

[claudio]

Make your image a movie clip. Then apply this code on the actions layer:picture_mc.swapDepths(10000);//picture_mc is the instance name for your movie clip

On the main timeline

The easiest way is to copy the frames into a movieClip so that the AS code is not applied on the main stage. Once you've done that, you can place the new movie clip containing the snow movie on any layer you choose. You could also then mask that layer.

This is what Claudio was suggesting (see attached). Ignore the 'graphics' as I've just thrown the fla together to demonstrate the point, but I wanted to do a similar effect, with snow fall being seen through a window.
