You can do that with some simple server-side script as PHP… for only visitors counter there is no need for databases and stuff… just increase a value writen in a text file.

For getting the number of visitors to flash use loadVariables… something like loadVariables(“count.php”, this);
It will be later accessible in visitsNumber variable

then create count.txt on the server and count.php sould look something like here

<?

$filename = "count.txt";

$handle = fopen($filename, "r+");
$visitors_count = fread($handle, filesize($filename)) + 1;
fwrite($handle, $visitors_count);
echo "visitsNumber=\"$visitors_count\"";

?>
