Hi Juan,


It is possible to create a hit-counter in Flash, but not using your standard

counter.

You got to have a CGI script which returns the numeric value of the count to

either the requester (the movie) or

even better to a file.


Flash can read this file ('load variables from file') and use this value

(substring-command).


I hope this reply is usefull,


Regards,

Dirk Dulfer
