edit time counting instances?

Is there a way in the edit time to log when an instance was destroyed?

(On destroyed function)

instcount = instcount - 1;

What I want is a running total of instances during runtime.

Sprites have a Count expression (e.g. Sprite.Count) that you can use to keep a running total of instances during runtime.

Here's a simple example:

[attachment=0:fcml6io6][/attachment:fcml6io6]

I do appreciate that, but that doesn't really help. I'm looking at the actual javascript, not the application. Thank you though.

Sorry, this is not supported. What do you need it for?

I'm trying to get a running total of instances in the app. I can add to the number every time one is created but the minute an instance is removed, everything is wrong. any ideas?

If you explain why you need this, perhaps there is another solution.

It's rather complicated, or maybe it just seems that way. I'm writing a plugin that uses instances to visualize screen objects(like the button div)

However it uses technology called parse so just creating the div isn't enough. Once all the divs have been created I need to run an action called parse on the divs. But I only want to do it once. So I want to keep a running total on the number of instances. That way during runtime I can have a variable that increases with every div. Once the variable reaches the number of instances I know that it is safe to run the parse function.
