simple counter if flash?

[leonidas]

hi

i need to make a counter for a flash page
i don't want/need to show the counter, i just want to be able to know how many hits the page has.

I suppose i can write a php script that when called (from flash when it loads)
it will write +1 in a txt file.
the problem is that i don't know how to call it from flash.

can i just call loadVariablesNum("counter.php",0);
and the php will not return anything to the movie, it will just write +1 in a file. Or do i have to return a garbage var?

thanks

it doesn't have to be in the flash movie. just use a simple php counter: http://tutorials.php-princess.net/index.php?p=31&more=1
