Flash :: How To Keep Track Of Clicks/hits In Flash

How To Track Clicks With Code In Flash CS3
Hi,

I am very confused. I have created a flash banner using Flash CS3. I have been told by the website master to add the following code to my advert so they can track how many clicks my advert is getting.

This is the message they sent me back.

Unfortunately the click tag for the Flash script is still incorrect as it needs to have:

on (release) {
getURL (clickTag, "_blank");
}

I pasted this code into my flash document using AS1 & 2. On an invisble box which covers the whole of my advert on layer 1.

Am I missing something? Also very new to this Flash business!

Keeping Track Of Clicks
I'm developing a small application that lets you pan around a dinosaur dig site and collect bones. I cannot figure out how to track when I have collected all of the bones. And it should not matter what order you collect them. I just want it to jump to scene 2 when all bones have been collected.

Can anyone help?

Keeping Track Of Clicks With Shared Object
I'm trying to write a function that keeps a running count whenever a button is clicked - and then writes the count to a Shared Object cookie. Here's the code:

Code:
function counterVar() {
var elemSharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("elementChoices", "/");
countClicks = elemSharedObject.data.itemCount;
if (elemSharedObject.data.itemCount == 'undefined' || '' || 'NaN') {
elemSharedObject.data.itemCount = 1;
elemSharedObject.flush();
countClicks = 1;
} else {
countClicks++;
elemSharedObject.data.itemCount = countClicks;
elemSharedObject.flush();
}
}
And the button code looks like this:

Code:
function click(bt:Object):Void {
if (bt.target == table_mc.p1_bt) {
var elemArray:Array = new Array(_root.p1, _root.i1, _root.e1, _root.en1);
var elemArrayName = "elemArray_" + _root.countClicks;
storeData(elemArrayName,elemArray);
//Alert.show("You've added " + _root.i1 + " to the cart");
counterVar();
} //else if...
}
Everytime it runs the count gets reset to "1", endlessly. Obviously the logic is flawed. Can anyone help out here?

Flash Ads - No Hits?
We were just asked this question. Was curious to see all your thoughts on the subject.

I'm a little concerned with the click tracking with the new flash banners code. If I look at the home page banners and compare the clicks of the Flash banners versus the other banners, the click-throughs are drastically different. Flash banners are much lower, almost nothing. But, when I click on the banner, the banner module seems to be tracking fine. Is it possible that most users aren't able to see these flash banners or something? Activity on the non-flash banners seems normal.

Usually, we set up a redirect using the tracking link that is tied to the flash banner we create banner. Any ideas what might be different for users? It's concerning because the advertiser with flash banners are going to be very disappointed with these results.

Recording Hits From Cd-rom Based Flash
Hello. I have an all flash cd-rom, and I am looking to have an html page open that is sized 300 by 300. Is there a way I can do that from flash? If a user was connected to a web page, then they would get the 300 by 300 web page. If not, the browser will display a 404 error.

The purpose of this page is to see how many people are actually using the cd-rom. We would find out by looking at the number of hits to the web page.

If that can be done please let me know. But what I would really like to happen is something behind the scenes access the net, with no pop up html page, that way a user won't have to bother with the pop up or a 404 error. Can this be done?

View Hits In Flash Video
I am looking to create a player for my exported flv files that keeps the hit count number in the first frame of the video- or I guess this is actually part of the swf skin. For an example of what I am talking about, look at this page:

http://www.wellcomemat.com/preview/1291

Under the play logo, you can see how many times the video has been watched, this is what I am looking to add into my own player. Does anyone know how I would be able to do this? I am assuming it has something to do with PHP integration into actionscript?

Thanks!

Search Engine Hits On Flash Based Sites
I have a page/site built completely using Flash. I want it to show up in users web searches (if it's relevant to the search) but the details of the .SWF file are invisible to the search engine so it does not appear in the users search listings. What can I do to rectify this?

Flash Clicks
I'm currently finishing a new website in Flash MX 2004 Pro. And now my client wants to be able to track what buttons/movieclips where clicked. Is it possible to write a function using a listener that checks every mousePress to see what movieclip was clicked and send that name to a PHP script to add one up? The PHP script I can write. But I'm wondering how to write the function(s) to register the clicks in Flash.

Tracking Flash Clicks
Hi

I've a client who has had a promotional site built by a design team to promote a product. The site was intended to capture data of what people where looking at on the site, 'what they were interested in', 'where the product had come from' etc etc.

if they had built the site in html then they could've tracked the html pages from on server, but as the site was built as one whole flash file, they have been unable to see what area the users where looking at.

So, is there a way, if I was to build a site purely in flash to track the usage of pages etc?

Many thanks

Flash Tracking Clicks
Ok, I've been looking for hours on this one. Can't seem to find how to track clicks in flash??? I've found plenty of third party type stuff, but we can't use that, nore can we use any php. So what I thought would be simple, would be to have flash talk to a .txt and simply count the number of clicks. Has anyone done this? Can someone show me an example?

Thanks

Advertising Within Flash(pay-per-clicks)...
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I was wondering if anyone here has advertisements within their Flash games. By advertisements, I mean ads where you get paid for clicks...kinda like Google Adsense. Is this even possible?

I believe Adsense has to be on an actual webpage to find useful keywords, but are their any other similar pay-per-click advertisers that would accept hits from within your Flash games? Even if it's a simple banner somewhere on your game/movie that contains the url with your referrerID. Thanks.

Handle All Clicks From Flash
Hi,

I'm looking for a flash that will load other movies (.swf on the same site)
but I want to make sure I control the clicks by myself.

let's say I have container.swf that loads sub.swf,

I don't have the source code of sub.swf,

I want all clicks to go to counter.php (even if there are other buttons in sub.swf)

loadMovie(...) and
_root.onMouseDown=function(){
//_root is a reference to the main timeline
getURL("...")

but here is the thing, if there's a button in the sub movie, it still goes to the button location ...

any idea ?

thanks in advance

Counting Clicks In Flash
Can anyone tell me how I can count the number of clicks that people have made on a link in a flash movie. Not just the number of clicks one person makes within the movie but the number of clicks everyone has made...
am I making sense here?

I'm guessing I'm going to need to use php or some server side stuff, so if anyone could point me to a good tutorial?

Thanks.

[An Idea] Allow Right Clicks For Flash
I was looking through my archives and I did a little CSS trick before to disable right clicks for Flash. It's basically putting a layer on top of the Flash so the Flash can't receive right clicks to make that menu.

But then I thought again, technically it would be possible to let Javascript handle right clicks and pass it onto Flash right? Then both left and right clicks become available for a flash movie. This would be especially useful for games involving the mouse.

Is There A Way To Do Something If The User Right-clicks And Clicks "forward"?

Tracking Clicks On A Flash Movie
Hi All,

My company is creating a series of Flash emails using the sattionary feature in Outlook and Outlook express. These are HTML pages with the Flash movie residing on a server.

Users must click a button in order to play the animation. My question is:

How do you track that click?

I know there must be some simple script somewhere and I probably have to keep a database.... I have been looking but I can't find anything simple enough.

All I want is to count the number of times this Flash piece has been played.... Thats it

thanks

Views & Clicks In FLASH Banner (how To?)
Hi to all !

I have one problem. I am making a flash banner for our club to put to a variety of advertisers. They all offer a statistic of clickthroughs & views ...but ... I just want to insert some action script to log this info to. ... just to compare their statistics & ours.

Banner will be on their server so I have to call my server for some action.

I want to call some php on our page to add count to views when banner is loaded. Same for clicks (some action for "on mouse click"...)

I thought that this is the best place to ask for help.

How to implement & which script to log clicks & views of a flash banner on a remote server ?

Thanks in advance.

Next Track/Previous Track
I've got a bunch of songs that I'm playing in a movie. All of the songs get created with the Sound Object first. I created an array to keep track of the songs. I want to use the array to trigger a next track and previous track button to go to the next or previous song in the array:

Code:
airplane = new Sound();
airplane.attachSound("airplane");
allthaticando = new Sound();
allthaticando.attachSound("allthaticando");
benearme = new Sound();
benearme.attachSound("benearme");
songs = new Array();
songs[0] = airplane;
songs[1] = allthaticando;
songs[2] = benearme;
nextSong = function () {
for (i=0; i<songs.length-1; i++) {
stopAllSounds();
i++;
}
};
prevSong = function () {
stopAllSounds();
songs[i]--;
songs[i].stop();
};
nextTrack.onRelease = function() {
nextSong();
};
prevTrack.onRelease = function() {
prevSong();
};
Any ideas?

How Do I Track Where A Flash Movie Stopped?
Hi, I am trying to control a flash movie with two different buttons, but I need to know how to track where the flash movie has stopped.

You can view it at Http://www.Sergprotector.com.

I have an optional navigation console and audio console. But I don't want both to be open at the same time. So, assuming that audio is open, when the user clicks Navigation, I want it to close audio. The only problem there is that when the user clicks on audio again, it doesn't play the opening frames, it plays the closing frames.

So How do I track if an animation is open or closed?

BrowserMouse 2 - Track Mouse Outside Of Flash
By request, I've just posted a preliminary version of BrowserMouse 2, which allows you to track mouse movements outside of the Flash/Flex player. Results are returned in both Browser-local and Player-local coordinates, and takes into account such factors as movie scaling and physical location on the webpage.

It's fully cross-browser and rewritten for AS3. No support code is required; just include the class in your AS3 project, instanciate it, and choose which coordinate system you wish to use. Also broadcasts XY to a javascript object because some browsers can't see the mouse when it's over a Flash player.

http://www.frontenddeveloper.net/wik...rMouse_for_AS3

Complete sourcecode, examples etc. are available for download.

Enjoy.
