Re: FLASH: flash site stats? Again, again. Is this a bad question or what?

[Helen Triolo]

Gregg Caines gave a good answer on Tuesday.  Were there parts you want

clarified?


Gregg's post:


If you use 'load movie' for the various sections of your site (and load

separate SWFs for each section), then you can count those files as

you normally would count any HTML page views...


If it's all one SWF (and none are loaded into it) then you could use

GetURL to post variables to some server-side middleware like ASP,

JSP, PHP, CGI, Cold Fusion, etc that can then increment a value in a

backend database or a plain text file.  Just do the GetURL anytime

the user accesses a portion of the site of which you want to keep track.

There's no need to use actionscript to store these counts in the running

SWF file.
