    Google Analytics XSLT tracking

    Hi There,

    I am hoping to get some help with an XSLT/Google Analytics problem I am having. I have a SWF object that I am placing in an XSLT file by embedding it using this code right here:

    var flashvars = {dataFile: '/HomepageSlides.aspx'};
      var params = { wmode:'transparent'};
      var attributes = {};
      
      swfobject.embedSWF('/elements/flash/Homepage.swf', 'flash', '1068', '300', '9.0.0', '', flashvars, params, attributes);

     

    Problem I am running into is after I installed the Google analytics part in Umbraco I am unable to get this to get tracked in GA. Everything else is tracked on the page and I can get results from it fine except this swf object.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     Thank you!

    As far as I know GA doesn't track Flash Objects unless you do some manual programming? Do you have experience with tracking Flash stuff in GA when not used on Umbraco sites?

    Regards,
    Magnus

    Vince, If you want to track a swf file (or anything other than html) in analytics you will need to setup some javascript and use the tracking api that is part of google analytics 

    pageTracker._trackPageview('url_to_the_file_you_want_to_track');
