Hi,
I had some problems with this, particularly with Internet Explorer -
here is my code that worked, although someone complained about errors in
IE7 or 8 about _gat being undefined - I guess you can hide these with a
try / catch block, but then it would be nice to know how to fix because
people still insist on using IE...:
JavaScript
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://ssl."; : "http://www.";);
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost +
"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
// ]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-#######");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
function trackTesting(page) {
pageTracker._trackPageview(page);
}
// ]]>
</script>
ActionScript
var page:String = evt.type.substr(5);
sendToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:trackTesting('"+page+"');"));
trace("eventHandler for type " + evt.type + " from " + evt.target);

Howdy all,
Hope everyone had a great holiday.
My client wanted me to incorporate Google Analytics - Event tracking. Based
on what they supplied me and what I've read on GA, I've incorporated these
calls through out my program:
---
GetURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackEvent('Videos', 'Play', 'Gone With the
Wind');");
---
Then in my index.html I used the GA supplied code (below is the generic
equivalent):
---
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl."; :
"http://www.";);
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost +
"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
---
I'm not getting the events recorded at GA. I've read that an alternative is
to change (in the html) pageTracker._trackPageview(); to
pageTracker._trackEvent();, but still no luck.
Does anyone have any experience with this and can make a suggestion. I know
that the calls inside the Flash app are all working (I've tested with a
visible text field on the app to verify content), so I'm assuming the
problem is in the html/javascript sniptet call to GA, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John
