OK, I am buying an ad spot on a nationwide program, and am wonderinf if there is ANY way possible to know how many times that an .swf is viewed. I am paying x dollars for x amount of ads, is there a way to see how many times that .swf is viewed? Is there a code I could put in that would count that? We do have a server, so maybe something that would tap into that or something, I dunno. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

its called a ‘counter’

there are many out there, and I know a simple counter in flash tutorial using php exists on flashkit. A simple search there should bring it up.
