			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the last days I&#8217;ve been doing Christmas cards for different clients for the agency I work for. One of those cards needed some snow in the background so I searched for different scripts in as3 to make a snow storm. I found 3 of those scripts  and I will review them in this post.</p>
<p>The first script is <a title="Snow Effect with Wind" href="http://www.neatfilm.com/2007/01/05/as-3-snow-effect-with-random-wind/" target="_blank">snow effect with wind</a> from neatFilm. It looked nice on the website, but when I tried to integrate it in my movie nothing seemed to work quite right. The code seems really strange, there are a lot of &#8220;this&#8221; keyword used for nothing and an internal SnowFlake class that you don&#8217;t know why it&#8217;s internal&#8230;. I wouldn&#8217;t advise using this class.</p>
<p>The second script is a script I found today. It&#8217;s a script made by <a title="Snow storm by galaxy goo" href="http://www.galaxygoo.org/blogs/2007/12/snowstorm_in_15_minutes.html#more" target="_blank">Seb Lee-Delisle in 15 minutes</a>. Well this guy must be really good if he made that in 15 minutes because it works pretty nicely. It doesn&#8217;t use too much CPU and I only had to tweak it a bit to make it work as a class that I could import easily.</p>
<p>The last script is made by the dude at pixelfumes. This guy released this code a long time ago and its been used on a lot of sites and even TV advertisements. The trouble is that this <a title="Snow Storm in As3 by PixelFumes" href="http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2006/11/actionscript-3-snow-storm-class.html" target="_blank">snow storm class</a> is really heavy on the CPU, if you have 2 windows running one of your movie each, it&#8217;s going to run very slowly. Also even with some evident tweaking made to the code it stays heavy on the CPU.</p>
<p>So you can guess that I was pretty happy when I found the <a title="Snow Effect by Galaxy goo" href="http://www.galaxygoo.org/blogs/2007/12/snowstorm_in_15_minutes.html#more" target="_blank">galaxy goo script</a> today. It&#8217;s really the best one and next week I&#8217;ll show you what I have done with it.</p>
