You will need to use CGI, Perl, PHP, ASP, or mySQL when creating a counter. ---

cgi sucks now… Just use php… _lol_… It’s alot easier to use and you can pretty much perform the same amount of \*\*\*\* with less code! Alls you’d need would be a text file counter.txt for instance… And then in your php file… Everytime someone comes in… Just increment the count.txt file in a hidden manner… Then… In your flash mx file load up that variable… using loadVariables… And then BAM!.. Plop that ho in your new function and put the little \*\*\*\*\* in a text handler… ---

I haven’t the money for a book right now, but PHP doesn’t seem that hard (basic PHP for now), it is definitely MUCH easier than CGI and more efficient. Goodbye CGI!!! ---

Yeah lost… That’s the book I have… I also have the ASP version of that book as well… They are handy little guides… And they only teach you… Instead of drilling you on \*\*\*\*… 🙂 ---
