   I am using the basic snow animation in the tutorial. I would like the snow to stop falling but keep the existing flakes on the stage in their position when the system stops.
   
   thanks

   If you pause the emitter rather than stopping it then the particles will remain in place.

   Thanks Richard,
   
   If I pause at the end of an ecard animation how will that effect the system resources?
   
   Thanks again,

   The particle system will still exist in memory, but it will be using minimal cpu cycles.
