Works in Flash 6 player but not 8

I am working with a sample .fla file that produces the snow
fall affect. The

issue is that it only works if my publish settings are set to
Flash Player 6

rather than 8. I need it get working with my published
settings set to 8.

Here is a link to the file and the actionscipt.




http://www.deconcept.com click
on the one labeled SNOW



ACTIONSCRIPT:



fscommand(''allowscale'', false);

stop();

// -------------

stageWidth = 800;

stageHeight = 200;

this.createEmptyMovieClip(''snowController'', 0);

// --- i added this mask for display on deconcept.com - you
are free to

comment it out and the snow will work fine, but don't forget
to change the

stage height and width anyway

// --- create the mask to hide flakes that sway too far to
the left or

right

this.createEmptyMovieClip(''myMask'', 9999999999);

myMask.beginFill(0x000000, 100);

myMask.moveTo(0,0);

myMask.lineTo(stageWidth, 0);

myMask.lineTo(stageWidth, stageHeight);

myMask.lineTo(0, stageHeight);

myMask.endFill();

snowController.setMask(myMask);

// -- end mask

snowController.createFlake = function() {

depth++;

this.attachMovie(''flake'', ''flake''+depth, depth);

myFlake = this[''flake''+depth];

myFlake._x = Math.floor(Math.random()*stageWidth);

myFlake._y = -5;

myFlake._xscale = Math.round(Math.random()*34);

myFlake._yscale = Math.round(Math.random()*34);

// ------ set vars for movement

myFlake.d = 1.7;

myFlake.a = 7;

myFlake.newX = myFlake._x;

myFlake.newY = myFlake._y;

myFlake.myXspeed = 0;

myFlake.myYspeed = 0;

myFlake.ySpeed = (myFlake._width + myFlake._height)/2;

// -------------------------------------------

myFlake.onEnterFrame = function () {

if (!Math.floor(Math.random()*8)) {

this.xSpeed = Math.round(Math.random()*10)-5;

}

this.newX += this.xSpeed;

this.newY += this.ySpeed;

if (this._y %26gt; stageHeight) { // this removes the clip
once it reaches a

certain point

this.removeMovieClip();

}



this.myXspeed =
((this._x-this.newX)/this.a+this.myXspeed)/this.d; // this

is just movement code to make is move smoother

this.myYspeed =
((this._y-this.newY)/this.a+this.myYspeed)/this.d;

this._x -= this.myXspeed;

this._y -= this.myYspeed;

}

}

// ----------------

snowController.onEnterFrame = function () {

if (!Math.floor(Math.random()*3)) {

this.createFlake();

}

}





Works in Flash 6 player but not 8
depth needs to be initialized. fix that and let us know if
there are more problems.Works in Flash 6 player but not 8
Can you show me what you mean please?

just below stageHeight = 200; you can use:



depth=0;
