I have a Flash website made from a template. We want to put a counter on the first page. I found a counter here: http://www.flash-counter.com/hit-counter-styles.html. I downloaded the index.htm from the site and pasted the code at the bottom of the page, just after the body tag and before the final html tag. but it doesn't appear. Am I putting the code in the wrong place? We want it at the very bottom of the page. Thanks!

you have to put it before the end of the </body> tag. Otherwise it wont show up.

Worked! thank you so much.

I have to ask, why are you bothering with a 1995 counter? It is by no means anywhere near an accurate count of visitors to your site.

Would you be so kind as to tell me where to get a better counter?

If you're looking for stats on your web site visitors, you need a real stats package, your web host should provide at least a basic one. Those old 'hit' counters will never get you what you want because a 'hit' is not a visitor, a 'hit' is every graphic on the page, every object, plus the page itself, so one visitor generates multiple 'hits' on any given page.

If your host doesn't provide a stats package, then sign up for a Google Analytics account, it's free, and it's quite good.

Thank you, I'll ask our hosting company.

If you have CPanel access, you should see if there any 'web analytics' available.
