Autumn Leaves-can I time it?

[msualumni]

1) Script Title: Autumn Leaves

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/leaves.htm

3) Describe problem: Can I alter the timing so that the leaves only fall for a certain amount of time then stop?

Sure, below is a modified version of the script that will stop and hide all the leaves after x seconds:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

}

function hideleaves(){
clearInterval(leavetimer)
for (i=0; i < Amount; i++)
document.getElementById("si"+i).style.display="none"
}

setTimeout("hideleaves()", 3000)

window.onload=fall
//-->
</script>

Change 3000 to the desired timer, where 3000=3 seconds.
