All-vector, scaleable, animated webpage hit counter. The Flash file makes use of a simple PHP script which keeps track of the unique page loads (by using cookies) and total page loads by writing to a text file.

Pros: This component creates an all-vector, scaleable, animated webpage hit counter. Simple PHP coding is used to create a set of hit counters that keep a count of unique page loads as well as a total number of loads of a page by users. One can change the base number and get the latest count starting from the base. Unique page loads are detected through the presence of cookies as the presence would indicate the page was downloaded by the visitor at least once before.

Several customization possibilities exist. These include options like how many counters are to be displayed. How many are to be decimal windows and comma use can be specified. Background color, border color and alpha value to be associated can be specified too. Spin speed of the numbers moving past the counter window, fade in time and the blur time, delay time etc are associated parameters that can be specified. Sound effect volume also can be set. Thus overall animation is quite easy with this tool. Users can click the counter to reload the current count and `re-spin` the numbers to the most recent count. Package includes FLA, opens with: Flash 8, Flash CS3, AS Version ActionScript 2.0 is used and the code generated is viewable with: Flash Player 8 and above.

Cons: Like most such third party components you need to get user feedback about dependability before integrating into your project. No apparent problems.

Overall: This is easily a nice application for a specific purpose. Overall a 3 star application without a doubt.
