Okay, so here's a link to what I did to create an empty moviclip. http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=6936 (I know it's old, but I assume it's still the same.) Basically, Insert --> New Symbol --> MovieClip. I named it emptyMC. (Didn't name the instance.) And I also dragged it onto the layer and set it at 0, 0. Then I pasted the code from my Snow.as file that I got from the original source that I found at the above mentioned site and renamed the line you mentioned to emptyMC.addChild(flake);
Then I get and error that states
| Scene 1, Layer 'FallingSnow', Frame 1, Line 6 | 1037: Packages cannot be nested. |
Here's the code that's in the Actions panel of the layer named Falling Snow:

package

import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class Snow extends MovieClip
{
private var flakesVector:Vector.<MovieClip> = new Vector.<MovieClip>();
private var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
public function Snow(speed:int = 3, flakesNumber = 100):void
{
for(var i:int = 0; i < flakesNumber; i++)
{
var flake:Snowflake = new Snowflake();
flake.vel = (Math.random() * speed) + 0.5;
flake.xSpeed = Math.floor(Math.random() * (0.5 - -0.5 + 1)) + -0.5;
flake.scaleX = (Math.random() * 1) - 1.0;
flake.scaleY = flake.scaleX;
flake.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
flake.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
emptyMC.addChild(flake);
flakesVector.push(flake);
}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fall);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeMovement);
timer.start();
}
private function fall(e:Event):void
{
for(var i:int = 0; i < flakesVector.length; i++)
{
flakesVector.x += flakesVector.xSpeed;
flakesVector.y += flakesVector.vel;
if(flakesVector.y > stage.stageHeight)
{
flakesVector.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
flakesVector.y = -flakesVector.height;
}
}
}
private function changeMovement(e:TimerEvent):void
{
for(var i:int = 0; i < flakesVector.length; i++)
{
flakesVector.xSpeed *= -1;
}
}
}
