View 1 RepliesI got this code to use google analytics to track activity on my flash site but I am not exactly sure on how to use it. Do I place the code on all the buttons I would like to track or is there a way to embed this code into to HTML document that my flash site is embedded in. I figured because of the onRelease action that it needs to be on a button,but I was hoping that there my be a better way. (My flash site has a lot of buttons.)
// legacy tracking codeindexLegacy_mc.onRelease = function()getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/home/indexLegacy');");};
Tracking should be independent of hosted page. So flash views should be able to recorded on pages that don't have Google Analytics code.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to track a #anchor for example [URL] the anchor is being called by Flash AS2. how can i tell GA to track hits on this page? I tried the GETURL method in flash:
[Code]....
which apprently used to work, but since they've made changes this doesn't... during tests firefox navigated to a page with the url javascript:_gaq.push [URL] was strange. Do I need to even use flash to ask GA to track the anchor? Is there a way i can point GA to track all anchors that are part of my page?

View 2 RepliesI have a flash file and am using google's suggested method for as2 event tracking like so:
getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackEvent('Refferal', 'Join', 'Benefits for HCAs/APs');");
The problem is that instead of silently communicating, pageTracker._trackEvent() appears to return a boolean value. Every time I click the button which this is located on I leave the page I was on and end up on a page that just contains the word "true".how to get around this? It makes the flash unusable.
I use google analytics to track viewed content on my site using tags like this... Code:
getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/MAIN/WORK/SEARCH-ENTER.html');"); Im wondering how i can however track search queries using a similar method. Conceptually, im looking for a way to do this

I would like to know how to track my pages with google analytics to see which pages are getting the most clicks. My site is XML / Flash the menu is xml. Could I put the tracking code on each of the menu items in the xml file?
View 7 RepliesI am trying to push in the Google Analytics library into my As3 widget. I plan to use the EventTracking feature in addition to the regular HTML-like pageview tracking that it provides. I plan to use the library in As3 mode (not the Bridge mode) since the widget is embedded on a lot of external domains.
Using the SWC to add the component to my project adds about 50k in file size. And my widget in itself is a very painstakingly achieved 120kb. I cannot afford the 50k overhead and every KB trimmed takes me closer to actually using GA with my player.
I got the code down from [URL].. and am trying to figure out any libraries that I can weed out to save file size, yet retain core functionality.
I've got an AS2 flash movie that I need to add Google Analytics tracking into. The only classes I can find are for AS3, do you know of any class method to track in AS2?

View 2 RepliesI would like to add Google Analytics to my flash file. The flash file is contained in a HTML file, which I already added the script provided by Google Analytics. At the moment, when a user visits my site, regardless which page is visited, only the homepage is counted.What as3 do I add to the flash file to keep track of each page that is being visited? I've tried a few codes provide on Google Analytics page and other tutorials, but none worked. The as3 for the menu buttons is displayed below.[code]
View 4 RepliesI am looking for code, examples, library, components for using google analytics event tracking with my Actionscript 2 Flash movies. I can find info about AS3 on the google code site but not AS2. What is the best resource for tutorials and examples about tagging my Flash files to use the asynch google analytics code. I have found some old information about the old google analytics code.
View 2 RepliesI make a site in pure as3, i make a swf file. Use swfobject, go to my html doc and make a simple version of the site with html and css as my alternate content. Add my javascript code provided by google analytics. Are the results from google analytics a combination of my html and flash enabled users, or only the html users.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set up google analytics for a full flash site.
I added code to the html page and I think it's working properly - to see who is going to my site. But...for more advanced tracking, I think I need to add code to the flash file too.
40k of compiled code seems like a lot to me to be making some straightforward flash-javascript calls and makes GA unsuitable for banner ad work as well.
Does anyone know if there is a 'lite' version of Google Analytics for Flash?
Im completely new to Flash and ActionScript2 but what I need is to add Google analytics code to track clicks from "button" Bellow is a part of my function

Is there any way for a Flash component to look up the URL of the website it is embedded in? For example, if I embed a YouTube video on my website, does Google have any way of knowing who referred to them?
View 2 RepliesSo I think this question is dumb, and I think I may know the answer already but, I think I may also be very confused, so hear goes. I have a website It is made up of an entire flash site, all in pure AS3, I have the flash component for google analytics, I have events set up all over the file to tell me when things are downloaded, using trackEvent, then all the navigation is all set with trackPageview, so thats all good. If I turn on the debug command and test the file, it tells me what is going on, the only event that fires automatically, is if the user watched the entire intro, it will wait for the intro to finish and track that as an event.
The next part of this site uses swfObject, to allow me to use alternate content. The html side of this site is almost the same as the flash side, it uses all the same event tracking, but no pageview tracking, as from my understanding this is tracked automatically when the user goes from section to section, the analytics code is within the head section. So my question is this. If a user has flash and goes to my site, it should only use the analytical stuff that is in the swf file, correct, however because the analytical data from the html file is in the head of that document, it should also track that at the same time, right. so would this chalk up in my analytics as 1 page visit or 2.
I have been running it this way for a month and the reason I am even questioning it is because, in October 2010 before this was all in place, I only had the analytics set up for the html side, and even that set up did not include any event tracking at all, at this point my analytics was averaging 2500 visits a month with an 83% bounce rate. This was obviously untrue as almost everything was counting as a bounce. Now in January my analytical data is looking very different, my visits are sitting on 5600 and my bounce rate is 39%, I think this is looking much better however I am still concerned because I do not know if I really am getting double the visits, or if the html is adding 1 and the flash is adding another simultaneously.
Is there any way for a Flash component to look up the URL of the website it is embedded in? For example, if I embed a YouTube video on my website, does Google have any way of knowing who referred to them?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find out if there is a way of using clickTag and Google Analytics to track outgoing banner clicks. clickTag code:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}
Maybe someone can tell me whether the following would work:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/somebannerad');");
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}
like a solution that worked with the standard clickTag code and didn't involve changing any code in the flash file.
I'm using the Google Analytics library (AS3 mode) .swc to track some click statistics.Now I'ld like to get the users location. Does anyone know if it's possible to do that with the Flash Google Analytics library?
View 1 RepliesIn order to work offline I'm using XAMPP to develop a website which is working great except that I can't see any Flash content. External Flash players have no problem working offline but obviously won't load anything but SWFs and FLVs. Is there a way to get Flash to work in a browser while offline?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a site that needs to work both online (served in a browser using http://), and offline (served in a browser using file:///). The site is using basic HTML, but needs to be able to play FLV or MP4 videos. There are many video players that work online, but getting a player to work on the users machine is more problematic. Every one I have tried either doesn't work or shows a message about adding the flash movie to my trusted files in flash player.[code]Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Does anybody have a suggestion for alternatives that may work.
View 1 RepliesJust created a new GA account and initialized my tracker in AS3. How can I confirm that it is installed and working correctly? In GA web view it shows "Tracking Not Installed" but when I use the "visualDebug" parameter (set to true) in Flash, it appears to be sending OK via trackEvent. Would it not show up as installed since it's not on the website yet (just testing in IDE)?[code]I'm using the AS3 library in "AS3" mode which sends the requests through a GIF request. This is not using the ga.js library so there's nothing to install on a website.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple silverlight page for for finding available domain names. This problem is equaly valid for a flash control as well.
I use Google Analytics for monitoring the traffic. I would like to find out how long it take for users to download and render the Silverlight control.
Once the java script on a page is loaded there should be a way to start a timer and then stop the timer once the Silverlight/flash control is loaded. Key points I would like to measure are:
Time it takes to download the silverlight/flash control Time it takes to initialize the control
I am trying to create a 'Password' database with flash to push both to and from an external database, the only problem is that I do not want to have to run IIS or Apache or any other web server. Is there any way to read a non localhost/web based type database within flash? If so can someone point me to a tutorial or
at least in the right direction?
it does of course save the flash/game cookies to the macromedia folder but, what if i want to reformat? how would i, on reinstall of windows reload my game progress? theres gotta be a way?
View 11 RepliesI've got Flash content that needs to run within a web page off a CD.

View 2 RepliesI am currently using Flex (Flash Builder 4) and making web service connections to a Apache PHP Zend AMF server to retrieve data. This works great, but I am wondering what options are available for fault tolerance. I know I can probably set up a second server that the application would switch to in the event it is unable to reach the first server. I am also thinking about trying to give each individual machine some tolerance.
For example, if they at least had the ability to input data to the application, that would be a start. So if they click 'save' and it can not reach the server, it caches it or stores it to a local file until the server is back up. Though lack of being able to do data look-ups might be a big problem. Maybe there are already some libraries or something I can look at to do this?
