Hello Florian,

Does the modified plugin listed in the post work with all the versions are the changes included in the latest version?

I uploaded the plugin but i seem to be getting a "Variable GoogleAnalytics is not defined." error.

Thank you.

I've not yet had the time to change anything in that plugin, I'm afraid.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

If no changes were made then i means that the error im getting must be something else.
I only asked about changes because I thought it might be the problem.

I just want to clarify, would the plugin also track anchor links or just links that goes to a new page so to speak?

Thank you.

The plugin currently doesn't track JS calls. Is GA capable of tracking those?
An alternative (that I'd prefer, to keep the plugins more separated) would
be this: I could add a "custom" tracking event that specifically tracks page
changes (using the "delayed" page change event, so when flipping over
multiple page not every single one would be tracked, but the one where
the user finally stops).

It sounds safe to infer from this quote that only clicks handled by the links plugin are tracked by the googleanalytics plugin. (although I'm not sure if that answers charlin's question)

It would be awesome if other data (such as page flips, and navigation options [How many of my users use full screen?]) was tracked as well. I'm not sure if this was around when this plugin was made, but an official flash-GAnalytics integration already exists which allows flash content to be tracked directly.

You don't need a plugin to track page flips.
If you embed the google analytics code in your html swfadress uses it automaticly.
Every page flip causes swfadress to change url and call the google tracker function.

It won't work if you use the new async version of analytics code becouse the current version of swfadress doesn't support it yet.
In version 2.5 swfadress will suport the async version of google analytics also.
But if you use the old version it works fine.
