Tracking counter in flash

[Thoe99]

If you have a massive flash file, with many labels, how would you go about making a counter that tracks each area (aka label) that a person goes to?

i don't think you can..maybe put each page in it's own html and count the times the page was viewed..

That's what I'm trying to avoid, is many pages, because I have my whole site on one flash swf.

You would need to add loadVariablesNum() code to all your buttons going to new areas to increment the count script eg :

on (press) {
  gotoAnStop(2);
  loadVariablesNum("countscript.asp?increment=1");
}

How do you find out what the variable is in the script and can you use any scripts for it? Are there any that you can recommend me using?

You can any server side count script you like eg asp, cgi, php etc. Just use the loadVariablesNum() to call the script just like you would in an HTML page. Regards
