You can track any browser based event, including Flash and Javascript events. To track an event, call the urchinTracker JavaScript function with an argument specifying a name for the event. For example, calling:
javascript:urchinTracker('/homepage/flashbuttons/button1');
will cause each occurrence of the the calling Flash event to be logged as though it were a pageview under the name /homepage/flashbuttons/button1. The argument must begin with a forward slash. The event names may be organized into any directory style structure you wish.
For example, if you wish to organize flash events by page, by type of event, you might organize a hierarchy along these lines:
- '/homepage/flashbuttons/button1'
- '/homepage/clips/clip1'
Flash Code Examples
on (release) {
// Track with no action
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/folder/file');");
}
on (release) {
//Track with action
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/folder/file');");
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
myVar = "Flash Track Test"
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/folder/file');");
}
