on frame 7 on another layer create an white oval shape, in the same place the drop stops
in frame 13 enlarge the oval and set its alpha property to 0 (the oval disappears)
set frame 7 to Tween Shape so the oval will enlarge and disappear in the same time
so now we have a Movie Clip with a drop of rain that hits the ground (also looks like water)
in the layer "rain" create a new Movie Clip where you do the followings: in the first frame put some instances of the drop Movie Clip, the on the next Insert New KeyFrame (right click on it), and add more and so on, until frame 13 (in our example) and place a "stop()" statement on the last one
in this way you create an effect that looks like random drops hit the ground, because the different instances of the drops start at different time; if you transform a bit the drops when you add new instances, the effect will be way cooler
