  Tracking flash events

  I couldn't find anything in the online help relating to this.

   Assuming we have a single HTML page displaying a flash file that has multiple sections. How can we track the various sections? Is it as simple as calling the TrackPage() javascript from inside the swf with a parameter identifying the section?

   

  e.g. html page contains tracking script and swf file, swf file makes calls on button clicks such as :

  BLOCKED SCRIPTmsAnalytics.TrackPage('section1'); 

   Does that work?

   Thanks,

  Alex

  Hi Alex,

  Please follow this link (http://xmldocs.net/Analytics/Using%20Web%20Analytics%20with%20Microsoft%20Silverlight.pdf) and check out the bottom of page 2 for an example of the code you could use. The document was authored to instruct on tagging Silverlight, but the concepts apply to Flash as well.

  The was a session at MIX 08 on this topic as well. You can review that session here: http://sessions.visitmix.com/?selectedSearch=PNL17.

  Thanks,
