Subject: FLASH: ASP counter with simple textfile


Use this script to count hits, stored in a ascii file:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT RUNAT=SERVER></SCRIPT>

<%

Function txtPageCounter

Dim tmpHitCount,textObject,pagename,fhandle

pagename = Request.serverVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED") & ".cnt"

If Session(pagename) = "" Then

Application.Lock

Set textObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If textObject.FileExists(pagename) Then

Set fhandle = textObject.OpenTextFile(pagename)

tmpHitCount = fhandle.readline

fhandle.close

Else

tmpHitCount = 0

End If

tmpHitcount = tmpHitCount + 1

Set fhandle = textObject.CreateTextFile(pagename)

fhandle.writeline (tmpHitCount)

fhandle.close

Application.UnLock

Session(pagename) = tmpHitCount

Else tmpHitCount = Session(pagename)

End If

' tmpHitCount has the hit count,

' return it as the value of the function '

txtPageCounter = tmpHitCount

End Function

response.write("aspcount="& txtPageCounter)

%>


Save the above as: count.asp, and call it as a LoadVariable URL


Have Flash pick up the aspcount var and display in a textfield.

For an example look at:
