Please question rephrase your. :)

A variable like a bucket, that can hold something.
Variables can be defined by the code author, and a variable can be typed ahead of time to hold a specific type of information.

For example: (simple)

var _age:Number = 5; // is a variable i just made up to hold the data for how old I am
var myAge:Number; // is a variable i made up that I know will be a number.
myAge = _age + 5; // I'm going to define the value of myAge to equal the number 10
var myYears:String = "five"; // a new variable type that holds data as text (Strings) and I spelled out the number 5

A counter? is in your kitchen. HAR!

A counter could mabe be a type of variable. you can define your own classes and set variable to be of that class type.

Example:

import MyStoopidClass; // i made a stoopid class

var _sheeeoot:MyStoopidClass = new MyStoopidClass();

// I made a variable from my own made up class type!
// wacky!
// goodluck, don't suck
