I have the Javascript version of this and it’s the best purchase I’ve made on envato!

Support is 2nd to none. If a client requires flash on site I’ll definitely be getting this :)

The other example shows another feature of GTrack such as component tracking, how to use XML to track and banner example tracking.

The error because of Envanto system… I will report this into them… Last time I check, they are fine… Thanks for let me know…

I will give you update when this is fixed…

Thanks

looks great, and i could certainly use it, but alittle confused to it’s function.

does it send feedback to the google analytics servers? or what exactly?

also… do i just incapsulate my code (primarily xml via flash buttons) with your code?

where do we specifiy the google analytics account info?

i realize this may be simple question, but just want to clear up the usage ( how-to ) when getting this item.

please let me know.

many thanks

Hi mike,

What is GTrack all about? It is wrapper for flash to talk to Google Analytics through Javascript.

It is great wrapper since it will simplify your coding time, in order to make GTrack works, you need
1. setup the GA account
2. implement the JS script to talk to GA server
3. put AS3 script into your flash
4. setup your tracking XML or manual AS3 coding to setup the tracking…

U do not need to put any incapsulate for your flash button, all you need is put my code into frame which button sits.

Your GA account will be sitting at Javascript. All you need is to specify what is the GA account number…

It is ok… Your question will help other people… So do not worry…

If you still not sure whether to buy or not… I would recommend to buy and try it… if you not satisfied then you could report to the envato support to ask for refund… I do not mind… since I could not meet your expectation =)

When you bought the item, you will get lots of example and template for JS and Flash so I think you no need to worry..

Please let me know ok? If you already bought I could assist you tutorial how to setup at least one…

Hope helps…

Hi mesrick,

Did your question about how to use this tools?

Then this is the quick and brief step: 1. setup the GA account 2. implement the JS script to talk to GA server 3. implement AS3 script into your flash (this is only for initialising) 4. setup your tracking XML or manual AS3 coding to setup the tracking…

Hi smcrobert,

Do you have control of the HTML page that holds the flash? For the page flip, do you have any access to the actionscript?

If yes, I believe you could do it… Buy the tool and if you have difficulty let me know…

Thanks

Hi thanks for getting back I own the software and yes have full access to the html action scripts AS3 ! only

my concern is the magazine runs of a single index.html Ie: when you turn the page you stay at that url constantly.

so not sure how to go about this ? any ideas. steve

Hi smcrobert,

Actually single URL is the best solution for this GTrack…

Reason why? Because GTrack uses event track not page view track
Event track: tracking for any user interaction (such as page flip click)
Page view track: tracking page load (such as page1.html, page2.html)

The only tricky part is whether the button that used to flip is always the same button? If yes, then you got only 2 options:
- use MovieClip and put custom property so that in the XML you can use custom property value replacement. Every time page flip, set the customProperty value to the button.
- use custom event initialization (you need to specify what is the event tag)

So what u need is just setup like what I did in the example. Let me hear your thought ok?

Thanks

Hello,

Before I purchase GTrack, I need you to clarify one thing. I purchased a XML Flash template on ActiveDen, with several Flash files, one main file and several others for each feature of the site. Each Flash file extract data from corresponding XML pages. How will I go with tracking those files? Should I install your code in each of the Flash file, as well as in each XML file? Thanks a lot.

Hi jmdefrance,

Correct me if I am wrong… So you got main flash file to get smaller flash files that extract information from XML right? And you would like to track how many people get the XML files.

If that the case, you could put the GTrack code into main file only and put some event tracking with onLoad MovieClip event for each smaller flash that extracts XML data.

Let me know if you want to get more information…

The main Flash file calls an Actionscript file which, in turn, calls other Actionscript files. The “fla” files don’t contain any actionscript. The actionscript code is contained in “as” files which call the XML files. And the XML files have the link of the video files and images I wish to track. I am not a Flash developer, so I am looking for a fairly easy implementation of Google Analytics and AS3 .

The Javascript code is available from template… so I am pretty sure you could copy and paste into your HTML .

For the AS3 code, you do not to worry to much since all you need is copy and paste as well… Unless you try to use manual tracking implementation…

From the information that you gave to me, it is hard to try to figure out how your object is being made and how you structured the code… So this is the best that I could help…

Thanks

Hello,

How much effort does it take, if possible, to integrate GTrack with “IgalleryX: Advanced Media Gallery” http://activeden.net/item/igalleryx-advanced-media-gallery/53665

Hello,

I am wondering if I can use this without having control to the HTML page? I would like to be able to track FLV statistics without putting code in an html page. Is this possible?

will1234craig says

do i need to have access to the original flv file, or the source flash file,

as we currently only have access to the swf files and not the original flash files so we cant edit flash

cheers
