Put this code:

  //set snowflakes' speed
  spdSnowFlake = 0.4;
  //set number of snowflakes
  numSnowFlake = 30;
  // set amplitude of snowflakes
  ampSnowFlake = 0.6;

  // set this value to height of document.
  Height = 550;
  // set top - place where snowlakes start flying.
  Top = -10
  // set bottom if snowflake reach it, one will be restarted again.
  Bottom = 330;


  // set to invisible movie clip that we are gonna duplicate below
  _root.snowflake._visible = false;
  // set starts point of first flying
  _root.snowflake._y= -50;

  // duplicating snowflakes
  for (i=1; i<= numSnowFlake; i++){
  	snowflake.duplicateMovieClip( "snowflake"+i, i+100 );
  	snowflake._x=10+i*10;
  	eval("snowflake"+i)._visible=true;
  }
