Add ActionScript:

Go to "Frame 1", choose "Frame" > "ActionScript" and paste the code:

maxhearts = 100;

var hearts = new Array();

for(i=0;i<maxhearts;i++)
{
hearts[i] = heart.duplicateMovieClip("heart"+i,100+i);

// put it in random place
hearts[i]._x = Stage.width*Math.random();
hearts[i]._y = Stage.height*Math.random();
hearts[i]._xscale = 40+Math.random()*60;
hearts[i]._yscale = hearts[i]._xscale;

hearts[i].yspeed = Math.random()*4+ 1;
hearts[i].increment = -0.025+Math.random()*0.05;
hearts[i].onEnterFrame = function() {
this.radians = this.increment + this.radians;
this._y = this._y - this.yspeed;
this._x = Math.sin(this.radians) + this._x;
if (this._y<-20) {
this._y = Stage.height;
this._x = 0-10+Math.random()*Stage.width;
}
}
}

Hit F9 for preview.

INFO: to place an object in front of hearts, select it, choose "Item" > "Placement Properties" and change the layer to higher value, for example "Layer 3":
