Google analytics doesn’t take the “#” to the link it tracks. So when u click “view this page”, it will bring u to the wrong url. Does anybody have a solution.

@ Mark Kemper

Hi Mark,

U want to say that the following code will work?:

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxxxxx”);
pageTracker._initData();
SWFAddress.setTracker(pageTracker._trackPageview);
} catch(err) {}

Do I have to add some code to awfaddress.js or to leave it as it is? would U show me a website with a working example.

P.S. I use SWFaddress 2.3 and SWFobject 2 in my head tag.

@ Zach Foley Because GA for Flash didn't exist at the time I wrote this, events weren't even out yet. Now it's a whole new ball game.

Why not use ga for flash and track events from there?

Hey everyone,

I’m having a heck of a time getting this to work for some reason. I’ve included the code just as described above but my Google Analytics insists the tracking code isn’t installed.

At http://www.bryanbeca.ca, view the source. Can anybody help me? I’ll be eternally grateful.

Did all of the above, started charles to monitor tracking.

No requests to google are made while navigating.

Using:
- SWFAddress 2.3
- SWFObject 2
- The new form Google Analytics code

Please ignore my previous post. Looks like swfaddress now works with GA without having to do anything.

Hi Mark,

Can you post your full code please? Do you replace any of the normal google code with what you posted above or are those 3 lines just added underneath?

Thanks

I found that in google analytics it doesn’t take “#” to the link it tracks. So when u click “view this page”, it bring u to the wrong page.(normally the page isn’t exist, if u did deep linking)
