Re: FLASH: How to Create a counter

[Gregg Caines]

You need some sort of server-side scripting.  Most webservers

should support CGI, but I believe you're going to have to write

your own script (probably in Perl or C) because most other scripts

display the counter with GIFs, and do not make it easy to import

the number into Flash.  You need something on the server side

so that you write to a file, or application variable or database, every

time someone visits the page.
