There doesn't have to be a loop. It's simple enough to program just an increasing counter.

The animation needs a loop.
 
I came back from work last nite around 1 and it was already over a million - 1,008,500 or something. Did anything dramatic happen at a million? I missed it.

Now, I just watched it turn over to 1,400,000. Yay.

Betcha it doesn't go to a billion. Doesn't look like there's room for another digit? But what do I know.

At approx. one million per 25 hours, should hit a billion in 220 more hours, or next Wednesday. Allowing for no power glitches, etc.

Actually - the counter actually can reach 1 billion. At a maximum, it can reach about 1.79 * 10^308.

The .swf runs at 12fps, and adds 1 per frame. At +12 per second, it would take a stupidly large amount of time to complete. Keep in mind that there are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire universe... Even if your computer could add a google to the count, at a trillion frames per second, it would still take 5.4 * 10^185 milleniums to complete.
