» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
This tutorial shows you how to create a simple counter that you can use
anywhere in your flash movie. The most obvious place is for either the
intro or the main part of the Flash Movie that you are working with. You
can also use this in other parts of your movie as well. For example, say
you needed to keep track of how many users are viewing a certain section of your
website, you can add one line of code and one text file - and you'll be able to
keep track of that section. This can be advantageous because sometimes
it's good to know what users are viewing and what the most popular sections of
your website are - if for no other reason then just making sure that you've got
that section designed as good as possible. Another reason might be that
you need to place a banner ad or other form of advertisement on the most popular
section of your website. If you happen to visit message boards where you
can use a Flash Footer -
you can also add this to that to keep track of how many people are viewing your
posts - not that useful though except as a gimic.
