Flash Counter
I am looking for someone to develop a flash counter for me. The counter is related to the amount of rainforest we are saving. Every 3 months we use a fixed % of our sales to buy rainforest – therefore the amount we buy each time changes due to increasing or decreasing sales.
The flash counter will use a font and style I have setup, the numbers should roll up like the mile counter on a car (i.e. the numbers should not simply just change to the new number)
The flash counter should use 3 values which it reads from an external text file
1. The exact time and date we bought rainforest last.
e.g. 12:00pm 01/05/09 (or any variant of this e.g. 01/05/2009 1200)
2. The exact total of rainforest we had at this time and date.
e.g. 2405
3. The ratio/proportion/amount by which it should increase (we will calculate this figure based on the previous 3 months for example if we bought 300 in 93 days then the figure would be 3.23 and thus the counter would increase by 3.23 a day.
The text file would therefore read
12:00pm 01/05/09
2405
3.23
I would also like something else separate to this. It would be the amount of rainforest saved since the users last visit. This information should be stored in a cookie and then read by the flash counter.
e.g. 2405 on last visit and current counter now shows 2505 then it should show that 100 has been saved since the last visit.
The winning programmer will be provided with a png file with the counter graphic and then font we use for this (we designed the font ourselves)
