what i would do is use a large actor, or maybe an infinite actor with several different animations. At certain times, load change the animation to rain or snow, or destroy the actor when not in use.

Actually I had make a rain effect. It's working by two actors, but I don't know if it is very beautiful. Some times it turns the game slow becouse there is many...many rain-thing at the same time. Do you want that I'll send it to you? Or perhaps in web?

ThreeFinger Pete, Oh, I see what you mean. I will try this out.
Tekdino: Yes, If youi could ut a demo on the weeb, that wiould be great.

Yeah, my concern is, if it could be to hard to load. I have huge grapohics and complex animations anyway... :roll:

Here are some rain types:
rain.zip
Notes:
    -If you don't like current animations you can change them. I didn't work much for them.
    -I forgot to make out of vision->destroy actor->event actor, so you can do it to make the game more rapid

Try to write the code direct in your browser. For me, it works:

I don't understand. For me, it works normally. Are you using winzip and IE5+, Opera 8.0 or Mozilla Firewox.
