FOSS: snow from mouse

[reelbigcheese]

FOSS: main

first make a new movie clip (which will be the snow) and give it the instance name of "snow", without quotes

then put this code on it

onClipEvent(load){
speedy=random(5);//creates the speed variables
speedx=random(1);
_x=_root._xmouse//makes the snow flaske move to mouse position
_y=_root._ymouse
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_x>Stage.width || _x<0 || _y<0 || _y>Stage.height){//if the snowflake goes off screen it will be removed
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_y+=speedy;// makes the snow flaske go down and right
_x+=speedx;
if(speedy<0.5){// so the snowflake dosent move too slow
speedy=0.5}
if(speedx<0.5){
speedx=0.5}}

now on the frame where the movie clip is put these actions

sc = 0;
_root.onMouseMove = function() {
sc++;
if (sc>500) {
sc = 0;
}
duplicateMovieClip("snow", sc,sc);
};

if all has gone well, you should end up with somthing like
this

the effect is nice, but obscure. this seems like a mod of all that "rain from mouse" FOSS that spam made a while back. im not saying this isnt good in its own right, though. looks nice.

Weee @ variables! :D

var speedy:Number = random(5);

Weeeeeeee @ variables =\

var speedy:Number = new Number(Math.round(Math.random()*5));
var speedx:Number = new Number(Math.round(Math.random()));

What are the advantages of declaring them?
