Counter in Flash

[Matt Coates Art]

I'm currently working on a Flash animation that requires a counter from $0-$100,000 which will be converted into a movie for a website, how easy can this be done in flash?

It needs to start 'onframe' and will not have a button to start the counter.

Thanks!

- Create a dynamic text field on the stage > give it an instance name > embed the font you want to use

- Add the following code in frame one:

var currentCount = 0;

var totalCount = 1000000;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEF);

function onEF(e:Event):void

{

     currentCount +=1;

     textFieldName.text = "$ " + currentCount;

     /// If you want to repeat it or you want to do anything on complete count:

     if (currentCount == totalCount)

     {

          //reset the currentCount:

          currentCount = 0;

          // If you want to stop the counter:

          // removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEF);

     }

}
