How to set up counter.

You may say in the first keyframe of your movie

If (counter <1)
Load Movie ("http://polar-lights.com/counter/countme.php?di=your_id_number&"&Random(10000), 100)
End If

And replace your id number with number that was shown to you on activation page.
You may download Flash4 example .fla here.
After that simple action you will have variable "counter" in main timeline and you may use it :)



You may try to write something about your problems to counter@polar-lights.com. Sometimes we read
letters in plan text format (any HTML letter or letters with files will be deleted on server), but there is very small chance to receive reply - sorry.
