Then click on Advanced option. Then select "Export for ActionScript".

Then Click on first frame on timeline. Press F9.

Now appear ActionScript window.

Now copy and paste below code into that window.

//Creating an empty movieclip to attach the clip from library
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//settig variables
holder.maxdrops=30;//no of drops
var downspeed=15;//speed of the drops
var dropslop=10;//slop of the drops
//Part 1 attaching the clips with loop
for(i=0;i<holder.maxdrops;i++){
holder.attachMovie("rain","drop"+i,i+5);
focuseddrop=holder["drop"+i]
focuseddrop.cacheAsBitmap=true;
focuseddrop._x=random(Stage.width);
focuseddrop._y=random(Stage.height);
focuseddrop._yscale=random(100);
focuseddrop._rotation=-dropslop;
}
//part 2 setting an interval for motion of drops
var dropup=setInterval(movedrop,1)
//function to repeat in the interval
function movedrop(){
for(i=0;i<holder.maxdrops;i++){
focuseddrop=holder["drop"+i]
focuseddrop._rotation=-dropslop;
focuseddrop._y+=25+downspeed/focuseddrop._yscale;
focuseddrop.x+=Math.tan(dropslop);
if(focuseddrop._y>=Stage.height+20){
focuseddrop._y=random(30);
focuseddrop._x=random(Stage.width);
}
}
}

Change highlighted RED color with your MovieClip name. And you can also adjust Speed, Drop amount, Height and Angle or Slop bye adjusting highlighted GREEN color
