Flash counter animation

Flash counter animation

Nothing new but I thought I’d post it up here just in case anyone wanted it – it’s a very basic spin-to-number counter – useful as a counter to show how many hits you’ve had or how many people have linked to your post etc.

Here’s what it looks like:

(View/download .swf here: http://mj7.co.uk/am1y)

To change the number just use a flashVar (or add a variable) called “num” and give it a number up to 7 digits – you can leave off the leading zeros as these will be added in automatically. So for example use:

<param name=”flashVars” value=”num=1234567″ />

You can download the FLA (I backsaved it to CS3) here: http://mj7.co.uk/am12
(NOTE: this .FLA uses mctween2 extension – you can download it here: mctween)

I’d love you to either use this as is – or even better – improve it and send it back.

If you do use it please give me a nod – if you like it enough to use it then why not share it?
