Hello!

On this forum if someone uploads a file for others to download, it displays the amount of times the file has been downloaded.

Anyone got any idea how to do this with a file that is downloaded from a flash movie?

eg

mysong.mp3 (downloaded 23 times)

Thanks for any help :nerd:

put the link in an html page that has a counter, then have that page return the value of that counter - javascript should work just fine. check [www.webmonkey.com](http://www.webmonkey.com) for a javascript counter.
