Question

Hello all,

Im completely new to Flash and ActionScript2 but what I need is to add Google analytics code to track clicks from "button"

Bellow is a part of my function

    getURL("http://www.mysite.co.uk/someulr.html","_self");
    getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/flash_site.html');","_self");

You could create a generic javascript funcion that would take care of registering the user's click to google and then open the appropriate webpage. I named the function '_trackPageviewAndNavigateTo':

getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageviewAndNavigateTo('/flash_site.html', 'http://www.mysite.co.uk/someulr.html');","_self")
