[flexcoders] Re: is it possible to track visitors / the page an swf is embedded on
Hi all,
that's the problem for Flex, it is so flexible for different kind
backend language. Each has their con and pro. But personally, I favor
.NET on their growing popularity. Besides, I will put most of the
logics insides Flex, so as to reduce the dependency of the backend as
it only for database or upload services.
Again the choice of AMF, which AMF for PHP ? Weborb / AMFPHP / Zend,
why so many choice

If you're looking for the url in the browser address bar then look at
IBrowserManager:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/managers/IBrowserManager.html
URL property is: 'The current URL as it appears in the browser address
bar.'

the syntax is:
var docURL = ExternalInterface.call(location.href);
or it might be document.location.href - not sure which one is right.

Subject: [flexcoders] is it possible to track visitors / the

Lets say I run a video site like youtube, how can I capture the url
of
the page where my swf object is embedded.
For example someone takes the embed code from
http://youtube. com/videoid123 http://youtube. com/videoid123 and
places it onto the page at
http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks
http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks
I know how to use HTTPService to report this information back to my
server and store it in the database, but I don't know how to use
Flex
3 / Actionscript 3 to determine the URL of the page that embeds an
swf. In the example above I would want to capture:
http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks
http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks
Thanks.

If possible, you could look into Google Analytics to do the tracking for you: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/flashTrackingIntro.html Worth a look, but might not meet your requirements.
