I need to make a counter in flash that counts 2000 numbers a day…so the first day it would start at 0, then the second it would start at 2001, etc. I’m more of an interactive designer, so I know next to nothing about AS2, can anyone help me get started with this? I don’t even know what functions I would need to use…

I have a dynamic text field called “counter” that the ‘count’ will be sent to, because it’s going to be displayed on the stage.

Thanks in advance for the help!
