continous frames

Alright, this is probably an extremely easy question toanswer.

I have created a flash file that has two frames (frame 1, andframe2). Frame 2 is a image from imageready that has lightningflashing. Since, I made it using the tween method in image ready,it has a stop point in its frames from where it will loop andbegin.

My first frame is the snow 3.0 tutorial from kirupa.comtwhere originally the snow continous to fall for an indefiniteamount of time. This worked great before i added frame 2. Onceframe 2 was added, everytime it loops, the snow frame also loops aswell. What i want to know is how i would keep the snow framecontinous while the second frame loops.

Thanks guys, i hope this isn't too hard. I am not very wellversed in flash and/or actionscript but managed to get thisfar.continous frames
maybe you need to make a separate layer just for the snow andhave only one keyframe on the snow layer so that it'll be like abackground layercontinous frames
MovieClips loop by default. if you want them to not loop youneed to add a stop() action to the timeline. I have not seen the'snow' tutorial but it probably uses an onEnterFrame or setIntervalmethod, addtionally I don't know how the 'imageReady' image isbeing imported or if you've converted this to a MC, but Tom has theright idea, make a second layer, put the snow on one layer, thelightning on the other. then add another layer, call it 'actions',select it, open the 'actions' panel and type 'stop();' this shouldonly stop the main timeline from playing and not effect the loopingof either MC as it plays, but it will stop the main timeline fromlooping an continuously restarting the other instance'sloops.
