Hi there,
I'm pretty much a flash newbie and now have a problem I'm seeking help with.

I reworked some code from this falling snow tutorial to make the particles rise up like bubbles. So this is what my action script now looks like:

Code:

 amount = 100;
mWidth = Stage.width;
mHeight = Stage.height;
for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
thisFlake = this.attachMovie("flake", "flake"+i, i);
with (thisFlake) {
_x = Math.random()*mWidth;
_y = Math.random()*mHeight;
_xscale = _yscale=_alpha=40+Math.random()*60;
}
thisFlake.yspeed = Math.random()*2+.2;
thisFlake.increment = -0.025+Math.random()*0.05;
thisFlake.radian = 0; //declare for actionscript 2.0
thisFlake.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.radians += this.increment;
//trace(this.radians);
this._x += Math.sin(this.radians);
this._y -= this.yspeed;
if (this._y<= 0) {
this._y = 175;
this._x = 10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
if (this._x>=mWidth || this._x<=0) {
this._y = 175;
this._x = 10+Math.random()*mWidth;
}
};
}

The problem now occurs when I'm trying to add another layer with more than 1 key frame to the animation. The timeline hitting a key frame resets the bubble animation and makes them blink in various spots instead of constantly moving upwarts.

So, is anybody here experienced enough to figure out and explain to me what to do to make this script work in an animation with more than 1 key frame in its timeline?

Thank you very much in adavance, your help is appreciated! =)
