This is a very good idea for those of us who are trying to log pageviews

at a Flash site (especially if backend text files or database accesses

are already in use there).  But my understanding of Tewes' particular

problem is that his customers are depending on some kind of national

official verifier of pageviews (an interesting concept--don't know of an

equivalent in the US), which only counts HTML pages as pageviews.  Even

swf loads are treated the same as image loads, and therefore are

considered hits rather than pageviews.  If this is correct, then I

really don't see any way around the customers wish to have files which

are officially logged in the ivw database without the frames-based idea

that Tewes came up with.
