Thanks a ton for the help, I'll look into that of course, but my main question had to do with stats tracking that was outside of any Google API. A normal website generates logs on the web server. Those logs are usually in a W3C compliant format. They can be imported into stats systems such as SmarterStats which would then generate charts/views/etc of the stats for the client to see.

Is there any good way to accommodate the same type of stats tracking when a site is specifically coded in Flex (i.e. no inherent request/response)? (Mainly so a customer who is used to using SmarterStats could continue doing so, and keep in mind that SmarterStats parses W3C compliant logs so the main issue I have is Flex stats tracking using W3C compliant logging).

Thanks,

Here's an article about integrating flash with google analytics, it should be pretty simple to port to as3 and flex.

    Hello,

    I've been tasked with figuring out what it would take to provide
    website statistics (such as unique visitors, returning visitors,
    page accesses, etc) for a Flex-based website.  Obviously the
    entry-point will generate standard logs, but if the Flex app uses
    view-states which mimic page "loads", then the web server will
    never see those view-state changes.

    We have ideas such as when a view-state changes, we would send a
    blind http call to a page on the server to act as a page "load" so
    the web server logs will be updated as such, but that seems quite
    cumbersome and not really the right way of doing it.

    Can anyone point me to any information on this?  I understand that
    we can tie into Google Analytics, but that's mainly because Google
    exposes an API for it.  What about other stats systems like
    SmarterStats which handles the standard W3C logging format
    (usually generated by the web server in a standard
    request/response setting)?

    Thanks so much!!
