You need to have Adobe Flash Player installed in order to view the component. You can download it from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Features

It resizes automatically to your stage.

You can control the:
- number of snowflakes
- snow speed
- minimum snow size, maximum snow size
- wind power
- whether the snow is landing or not
- the height landing area

Just drag&drop the "snow" symbol from the library onto your stage.

Only 2Kb in size.

You can change the flake with any object you like (or other kind of flake).

All the code (with comments) is in the first frame of the "snow" symbol.

Installation instructions for:

Below you will find instructions on how to install and use the Snow Effect FX Component in Flash (available for Flash 8, CS3, CS4, CS5 and Flash Player 8, 9, 10 or later).

You can see an example on how to install a product in Flash here.

In this video you will see:
- how to create an instance of the component on the stage: from the Components panel (Ctrl+F7) drag & drop the component on the stage
- how to give a name to an instance for further use in ActionScript: click on the component instance on the stage and from the Properties panel (Ctrl+F3) enter a name in the text input
- how to access the properties of the component (read or modify) during different moments of your Flash application

Any property of the Component could be accessed that way. The names of the properties are identical with the ones from the settings.xml file. The properties of the component can be of any of the three types: Number, String, Boolean. We assume it’s intuitive of which type each property is.

Warning! Setting the parameters of the component in the Component Inspector window (Shift+F7) and in the same time having a settings.xml file populated with different values for each property, the properties from the settings.xml file will have priority (meaning that a parameter set in the Component Inspector will be ignored if that parameter is also defined in the XML file).

For now, this component does not dispatch events, but stay tuned for an update.

I would really like to use a pic/graphic on my web page with a snow effect over it. Can’t get to grips with how to do this. I see an idea above which suggests a new, transparent layer etc., but Dreamweaver CS4 doesn’t have layers anymore(?), seems to have been replaced with AP Divs(?). I don’t need anything else on the page, just the graphic and the snow effect. Any SIMPLE! solution would be really welcome.
Many thanks.
Frankie

Hi,

Go to any of our flash components page and follow a install instructions on a general website. For e.g go to this link except you will be placing the name of your swf file. Download a free archive from the link I added. The only file you will be needing is the swfobject.js that should be present in the page where your swf file is placed.

When I try it it pushes all my content to the bottom of the stage. Is there any way to make the snow appear OVER the content, like a Z-index value or something?

Hi,

Try adding it in a different layer, with transparent background, and set it on top of all other layers.
