In this Flash and ActionScript 3.0 source package with video walkthrough you can learn how to program hit counters into your individual flash file sections or website pages. We make a request to PHP right when the Flash file section is accessed by the user. Within a slpit second PHP takes the variable that flash sent it, queries the database table, and returns the result back to flash for display. You can make separate requests, or create a function to handle all distinct pages or sections in your flash file. If you have more than three sections to track, you may want to consider a reusable function.
