Oky, i want to conserve space on my main movie, so i make another movie for my counter! even though I put:

loadVariablesNum (“[http://www.3dcody.com/counter/PHPCounter.php?ran=](http://www.3dcody.com/counter/PHPCounter.php?ran=)”+random(9), 0);

as my 1st fram, it will not load my counter.

Where as if i do put it in my main movie, not in its own movie, then it will work? any suggestions?
