Im not able to track.

var config:Configuration = new Configuration();
config.enableErrorChecking = true;
m_universalTracker = new WebTracker( UACode, config );
m_universalTracker.pageview( "does/it/work/question-mark" );

uanalytics.swc v0.8 from zip
Using SWF in Browser.

I wasnt seeing any network call in the browser console. Then I activated the ErrorChecking.

Do I miss something ?

so we could

• read the analytics.js cookie and reuse it in the SWF
• get browser informations like document encoding, referrer, etc.

for now the RateLimiter apply to all hit requests

according to doc it should apply to all but not item or transaction

Applies to all hits except for ecommerce (item or transaction)

In the wiki main page I got a Support section that says

If you still encounter problems, and/or things do not work
please do not send me direct email or direct twitter/google+/facebook messages
Create a new issue instead.

Am I some kind of prima donna on the top of his ivory tower
that you can not even talk to me on social media ?
off course not

here why
see this question about Demographics and Interest report

If I was receiving this question by email or other direct message and answering it there
it would do 3 things

• prevent anyone else interested by the same problem/question to see the answer
• encourage people to keep asking their question by direct email etc.
  and so force me to copy/paste or rewrite the same answers
• and also not showing other people that the product/library is actually used

I'm not sure why it happened on gaforflash and why it started happening again on this project

• are people ashamed to admit they use an open source library ?
• ashamed they still use Flash/AIR ?
• not comfortable speaking in public ?

I really don't know, but I do know it is not efficient
it is not my goal to spend hours on direct email or messages answering 1to1 questions
my very selfish goal is to write code, the more time I can do that the more I'm happy.

In fact, sometimes it happen so often that I even thought to propose commercial support
so yeah I could teach/train/setup everything for you over as skype call etc. for a fee
but I would rather have people writing tutorial and showing each others how to setup things.

There is also a thin line: Google Analytics is a free product but it is still a business
my goal here is only to provide a library that allow you to use this free product
in a very specific context: ActionScript 3.0 with Flash and/or AIR and/or Redtamarin
but I'm not linked in any way with Google, it is not my job to promote or teach Analytics.

All that said, I can understand that people sometimes do not get what open source means,
that they just see a library as a quick tool to achieve a goal, yadda, yadda, yadda

so let me clearly state what can happen if you contact me directly

• for a "thank you" etc. it's all cool
  I would just find it strange if you don't star the project
  but really no big deal
• for a question or issue
  I will probably put it back here and answer it here
  keeping the author anonymous
• for the "I need you to do something for me"
  I will probably answer with "are you ready to pay for that?"

see Queue Time parameter

"Used to collect offline / latent hits.
The value represents the time delta (in milliseconds) between
when the hit being reported occurred and the time the hit was sent."

Hello,
I have followed the simplest implementation of the libraries:

public function sendPageview( page:String, title:String = "" ):void
{       
      var trackingID:String = "UA-XXXXX";
       var config:Configuration = new Configuration(); 
       config.forcePOST = true;
       var tracker:WebTracker = new WebTracker( trackingID, config );
       tracker.pageview( page, title );
}

It seems like the stats are not working everytime: I uploaded my game to Newgrounds last night. According to them 110 people played the game. However, Google Analytics reckons only 48 played. Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks!

Hi
I just wanted to make simple tracker for my game to know when player clicked "play" button.
I read your wiki instructions and i don't know which example should i use. I tryed to copy code from "Tracking Configuration" but i didn't manage to make it work :(

I must be missing something, but I can't seem to get any data showing up in Google Analytics.

The simplest integration -
var tracker:AppTracker = new AppTracker( "UA-XXXXXX-1");
tracker.screenview("HOME");

But nothing is showing up in RealTime in Google?

I've tried sending Configuration to AppTracker to -
var config:Configuration = new Configuration();
config.forcePOST = true;
var tracker:AppTracker = new AppTracker( "UA-XXXXXX-1", config);

I've also tried setting up the two classes as detailed here - https://github.com/zwetan/as3-universal-analytics/wiki/TrackingConfiguration (MyTracker and MySender) but after instantiating MyTracker (var tracker:MyTracker = new MyTracker() ), I'm not too sure how to continue with this as trackingId doesn't exactly get applied...? Has anyone got an example project template with it working? Or No where I'm going wrong?

So.. is this project dead?

Hi Zwetan,

Thank you for posting this solution for tracking swf video files. I was going through the documentation for the API integration and I can follow what those steps. My issue is how to implement code inside the Flash file with a .swf format. I have found several tools to decompile the swf file but I'm not sure where to implement the code changes and how to recompile the file back and send events to Google Analytics. I would really appreciate your help. Can you please recommend me a tool to make my swf files to interact with Google Analytics?

Thank you,
Mihir

see Session Control parameter

few things

• automatically add a session start for the 1st hit request
• support timers to support session stop
• mobile AIR app background mode shoudl trigger a session stop
• let user trigger a manual a session stop for special cases
  like: kiosk mode, idle screens, screensavers, etc.
• let user trigger a manual session start for special cases
  like out of idle mode, out of screensaver, etc.
• support Session unification

see How a session is defined in Analytics

in generateAIRAppInfo
we forgot to call System.disposeXML() to clean up the XML.

This library seems perfect for what I need but I can't get it working.
Is there a complete example anywhere?

Thanks,
Matt

I raised an issue in Flow Player flash to try get them to jump to universal. It looks like this library would be the ideal solution.

Would someone be able to advise how to integrate it? I personally know GA/ MPreally well, but flash is not my strong point.

some issues are more about usage, how to do this or that
and should be closed as issue but written in the doc/wiki

Hey guys!
Sorry for a little off-topic, but I wanna use your lib in my mobile game, and I don't wanna be an asshole :D How do I have to provide your credits? A link to repository? Names? Or maybe some other info?
Drop me a line to this e-mail edited if you see this. If you don't, I'll provide a link to your repo
Thanks for your work!

iam using code from example:

var config:Configuration = new Configuration();
config.senderType = "libraries.uanalytics.tracker.senders.TraceHitSender";
var tracker:WebTracker = new WebTracker( "UA-12345-67", config );
tracker.pageview( "/hello/world", "Hello World" );

and iam getting error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TraceHitSender is not defined.
at flash.system::ApplicationDomain/getDefinition()
at libraries.uanalytics.tracker::WebTracker/_ctor()[/Volumes/prototype/libraries/as3-universal-analytics/src/libraries/uanalytics/tracker/WebTracker.as:91]

at libraries.uanalytics.tracker::WebTracker()[/Volumes/prototype/libraries/as3-universal-analytics/src/libraries/uanalytics/tracker/WebTracker.as:71]

Any idea what iam doing wrong ?

I have added uanalytics 0.8.0 for Air.

On launch of my app I create the Configuration and the tracker. All is ok on Android (Air27) and flash(Air28) versions.
But on IOS(Air27) the app does not start.

Note: I used Starling V1.8. FlashDevelop 5.3.

verify that each XML node is garbage collected

eg.
System.disposeXML( node );

we need a little utility function to convert from/to Client ID coming from analytics.js

see Client ID

The Client ID should be a random 64 bit integer. Historically, Google Analytics has separated its clientID into two 32-bit, unsigned, base-10 parts: 123456789.123456789. The measurement protocol supports larger UUIDs including alpha numeric characters.

BSDSocketHitSender crash

as explained in the doc
Email Tracking - Measurement Protocol

from a tracker we should be able to generate such URL string
<img src="https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&..."/>

Does this library support campaing tracking? I mean does it support obtaining the campaign referral information via a custom referral url when the app is downloaded from GPlay/Itunes?

Thanks

Fantastic package - I am using it in a live project and mostly everything is perfect. The only problem is that the device information is not correct. All Android devices are 'unknown' and all Apple devices are 'iPodTouch'. I have some other libraries for detecting device type - where can I set these details inside the tracker?

For example, I have some code which can tell me that the device is an "iPad AIR 2" - which property inside the AppTracker can I set to this value?

Hi, in my app I have two parallel screens, how can I track them the same tame?
tracker.screenview(screen1);
tracker.screenview(screen2);

in analytics Real-Time>Screens, they are rewriting each others.

I noticed that GA throws away some events, especially the ones that are sent right after the screenView call. I assume the reason is the GA throttling limitation as these 2 calls are called right after each other - within 1 second.

Is there a way how to avoid this? I'm thinking of saving events into the array and sending these events one by one after some interval.

Thanks.

BTW. Huge thanks for making this library, really appreciate this.

our current data model support only dynamic index at the end of the variable
see custom dimensions and custom metrics

for ex:
Custom Dimension
cd<dimensionIndex>=Sports
cd1=Sports

we support it with
tracker.set( "dimension1", "aaa" ); // cd1=aaa
and
tracker.set( Tracker.CUSTOM_DIMENSION(3), "ccc" ); // cd3=ccc

But for the most complex cases of Enhanced E-Commerce
like

Product Custom Dimension
pr<productIndex>cd<dimensionIndex>=Member
pr1cd2=123

Product Impression Custom Dimension
il<listIndex>pi<productIndex>cd<dimensionIndex>=Member
il1pi2cd3=123

where you can have 2 or 3 (more?) indexes
we don't have yet the support

see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/air_buildingapps.pdf
for documentation

scenarios that have not been tested are

• passing arguments from an AIR Install badge to be reused for tracking
  once the AIR application is installed
• launching an AIR application from the browser and pass arguments for tracking
• calling an AIR application from another AIR application and pass arguments for tracking

http://blog.pena.ro/2012/06/adobe-air-install-badge-passing-arguments-to-your-application/

ideally we would like to be able

• make the difference between an AIR application installed from a badge.swf and from a download
• make the difference between an AIR application launched from the browser and from the desktop

How to enable Demographic and Interest reports for Adobe AIR applications? What configuration and changes to tracking code are required?

I know Google Analytics allow you to know more about your users but i didn't find anything related in the API of this library, should i use Firebase instead?
Thanks!
