Does this method matter how the Flash is actually being embedded in the page? I use SWFObject to embed the Flash with JavaScript.

Will this still work?

You will have to edit it to fit the needs of the urchin tracker method if you want to use this. Thanks! @Jay The code I created in this example only uses the ga.js method from google.

I have a question about where the Google tracking javascript code gets placed in the page that calls the SWF. On our site we have the GA script just before the ...we are currently not tracking Flash events in production. I have seen a couple of blogs say that the script on these pages needs to actually be placed after the opening tag before the SWF call. Why is that? We put a test case together last night with the GA script before the close tag and the events were tracked as expected. Thanks for this solution.

I haven't tested mine in the new version of Flash Player that was just released though so I'm not sure if anything will break because I wasn't using ExternalInterface. EI is probably the better way to go so I may have to update my article. It was probably wise of you as well to wrap it into one method and just call the method, nice work. http://evolve.reintroducing.com/2008/01/09/tips-n-tricks/using-google-analytics-in-your-flash-projects/ Oddly enough, I too wrote an article about this a while back with an AS2/AS3 approach.

Thanks for sharing. Using External Interface with my AS2 projects opens up the door for a lot of options when making the tracking calls. Its great since using external interface won't interfere with a normal getURL call or other similar calls out to the server. Tiago thats great! Thanks for sharing.
