ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating A Live Page Counter In Flash
Jun 28, 2004
I have followed the tutorial on creating a live page counter in flash and somehow run into a problem to which i don't seem to be finding the solution. Perhaps someone here might be able to offer his/her generous help in solving this issue. Problem: The page counter works just fine the first time i load the page. After doing a refresh using the Ctrl & F5 key or just by clicking on the refresh button in my browser the count keeps going up (which as far as i understood from the tutorial is not supposed to happen).
When i do the same kind of refresh on the tutorial page the count stays unchanged though! I also downloaded the finished fla file but for some reason or other flash MX doesn't let me open it, giving me the error: "unexpected file format". Here is my code of the php file that i wrote for the counter.

I am using flash 8 and actionscript 2.0 to build this application. I am trying to compile a page hit counter that is only activated when the timeline hits a certain position. I thought I had it with the following script. But the count would randomly get reset back to zero.
Here is the PHP script:
PHP Code:
<?php
//Reading the file
$count = file_get_contents("main_counter.txt");
//Increasing the count
$count = explode("=", $count);
Code] .....
With this attempt I used the "loadVaribales" method to communicate with the PHP and TEXT files. Here is the code in the first frame of the timeline:
Code:
this.loadVariables("counters/main_counter.txt?num="+random(999999));
Here is the code in the second frame:
Code:
this.loadVariables("counters/main_counter.php?num="+random(999999));
It works awesome for a few weeks then the count gets reset to zero. Why the contents of the text file are randomly getting deleted.

Can I have a counter in flash? I don't know if it's possible in ActionScript. What about a Javascript version?

I have a flash ad on my site that cycles through about about 8-10 products each with their own buy button that adds the item to the shopping cart and takes them to the shopping cart page. What I want to do is create some kind of counter or tracker that keeps track of how many times each product was clicked on. I would prefer an external file to be generated and updated per new click. Is this possible?

Whats the best way to make a 'live update' visit counter? For example: One person opens the site with the visit counter, and as soon as another one visits, the counter updates on the first users screen.

have an odometer type thing, that would go up 9 times a second, and it would go up whether you are on the site or not.So if I started it now, and checked back in on the site in a couple of days it would be at say 300,000, and then I would check back in a couple days later and it might be at 600,000.How would I go about doing this. I have an mc with the actual digit animations..

Everytime a monster dies, I want the monsters killed dynamic text field to increase the number by 1. I gave it a good shot but it feels like im missing something basic, Im fairly new to this still but picking it up quickly. The following code is inside of a movieClip dealing with the monsters. The second block of code is on my main timeline.

I've a little static portal, with guides, no server side support. All of it is local content (shared hdd). I'd like to make a page hit counter to know which one is the most useful, and wich isn't used at all. I've browsed the net for a long time today, but everything contains php. Though it's rare, that the swf is not on a webserver. I think there's an easy way to do, just don't know how. So I'd like make a flash that can count how many times the page (or itself) has been loaded.

i am currently working on a facebook game and i have a problem concerning the integration of a life counter which regenerates over time for a facebook game. The game is a simple Flash/AS3 shooter in which users are competing for the highest score. For monetary reasons every game costs one life and users should only be able to start a new game, if said life counter is >=1. To clear things up, i submitted a link to Popcap's facebook game "Zuma Blitz": ZUMA Blitz I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach.

I downloaded a free fla file open source for pageflip. It uses a global function which is this:
_global.mcnt = 0; //counter (used on a page where is an animation).
So now I want to put an animation in a page and i assume that i have to call or use this function. the problem is that i don't know how.

I am trying to create a simple login page, once the user has logged in successfully they will be taken to another site which contains their photos. I have created the login page already, it has a Username and password plus the Submit button. I guess 2 things need to happen here:
1. I would like to be able to access an xml document which contains the Username and Password in order to validate the details.
2. Upon successful validation, the user is directed to another page which contains their gallery, I guess I need to add a navigateToURL here in actionscript where the URL is passed from the XML file to the code (the URL needs to come from an the same XML file, if possible).
I am trying to design this site so I don't need to keep accessing the actionscript in flash to add user details and URL links.

Im looking for any help on creating a full screen flash page, which will be activated by a button Such as this tut [URL] However I have tried this but cant seem to get it to work. Would this be something to do with my publishing settings (currently on flash 9 - which it states is recommended) or the code in the HTML which again I have followed the tut and have added the additional code...

I've had no problem creating preloaders for a basic page. I have a gallery with a preloader on the main page. It works fine. You can click thumbnails to see large photos that are on separate swf files. Everything worked fine when there were no preloaders on the individual swfs. But later I added preloaders to each individual swf file and now they do not load - just a big fat "0% Loaded" screen.
I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps the preloader should be contained within the loader that is displaying the individual swf files? Maybe the individual swfs do not need their own preloaders? I'm over my head in AS 3.0

Good day to everyone. I'm here today to seek help about Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. The story starts when one day, my boss asked me to make a flash presentation about their upcoming user training for a newly developed software. I was enthusiastic and excited about it because it's been a long time that I did not use Flash (note that I don't have any experience in ActionScript 3.0). At first, everything was a bit rough as I need to recall how to properly use the frames to create a successful animation. As I was about to finish the project, my boss approached me again and asked if I could insert a menu page in front so that the users won't have to replay the whole thing again just to look for a little something on that part of the movie. So yea, at first I was abit hesitant to accept. I said that it will work with Powerpoint. But she's a total pusher and I was forced to say yes. Now I'm having this problem about how to make a flash button load a swf movie.I've tried searching all over the net for tutorials but most of the times the "getUrl" and other stuff are said to be outdated.

i am wondering if it is possible, and if someone would be so kind to help me code a scene where two thumbnails, side by side, are flipped up and down, and back up, each time revealing a new random image culled from a feed such as a flickr feed (or any others available, is there a random google image search feed that i dont know about?).if this is possible, i would need assistance in coding the script so that the flash movie is dynamic and pulls image data in real time from the feed, displays it within the two thumbnail cells, and for added headache pain, i would hope to also learn how to code a random image to be selected based on a visitors date/time stamp.i am a graphic designer with rudimentary knowledge of action script 2.0 (yikes!) so please, go slowly / explain yourself. i have searched the forum, but i cannot find any previous threads that combine the random image generator idea with a live feed (unless if i missed it, please point it out to me if you can find such threads).

I am building a menu that is to run on a mobile device.. the menu is populated with data from a live xml feed. and then suppose to be both dragable and "throwable" - meaning if you swipe up or down fast is scrolls with a little velocity physics slowing down over time. I wanted this menu to use as little processor power as possible so I am using scrollRect along with all my menu items being set to
cachAsBitmap= true;
Its working for the most part except once it stops scrolling and the user mouse downs on it again to start dragging, it tends to jump up or down like 20-100 pixels.
ActionScript Code:
menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, menuDrag);
menu.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, menuStopDrag);
function menuDrag(e:MouseEvent):void{
isDragging = true;

I'm new on FMS, but I've managed to create a web page with an embedded player that shows a live stream that I capture with a webcam and FMS. What I need is to be able to pause the live stream from the web page player and to play it again from the point I've paused it. I thought to stream a live video and save it to a file on the server as well, but I don't know how to tell the player to start from the end of the file rather than the begining of it. The client should connect to the page and see the live stream, but he can pause it and continue watching it later from that point, but if a different client connects, he should see the live stream.

I need to create a button, or at least a movie clip that functions like a button that will print a page when clicked. Ideally I would like to have the button as part of the flash application, which will be online embedded into a web page as a .swf. on click the print page dialog box will appear, and the user will be able to print out the web page. What is the best way to code this?

I am trying to create an interative catalog for my small business.( I would like to do something similar to the online catalog that Kohls department store has [URL]... When the user goes to the corner, I would like the page to curl and give them the ability to turn it like a book. I would also like to keep all of my interactive scripting on each page (ie small popup box when the user rolls over an item, larger popup box when they click on an item) I am currently using Flash Pro CS5 to create the rollover/popup boxes, but do not know how to create the page curl effect. I know that InDesign can apply this effect to my pages, but am having issues with this working completely.
I have placed my flash pro cs5 .swf file (which contains my invisible buttons and scripting.) into my InDesign doc. I then export this InDesign doc as a .swf and also generate an html file. When I open the swf or html file, there is a big grey flash logo on the page. If I click on it, the page loads and I am able to interact as I would like and also turn the page with the curl effect. The problem is that every time I turn the page it loads the gray flash logo and I have to click on it again to load the page. An even bigger problem is when I embed the InDesign swf file to my webpage the gray flash logo is still there and even when I click on it, it doesnt load the page. Is there a way to get both interactivity (ie rollover/popupboxes) and the page curl effect I want? Is there a program that will make it easy for me to do both?
