looking for some files ..

2009-12-01T17:22:57Z

hey, I am looking for some .as files that are missing when I try to
use the gaforflash-1.0.1.319 analytic tracker

import com.google.analytics.debug.Deb ugConfiguration;
import com.google.analytics.v4.Config uration;
import com.google.analytics.v4.Google AnalyticsAPI;

I already have that one:

GATracker and DebugConfiguration

2009-11-19T18:06:51Z

Hi,

In com.google.analytics.GATracker constructor, the given
debug:DebugConfiguration is not taken into account. Worse, it crashed
when I specified one.

Indeed, the implementation is:
if( !debug )
{
this.debug = new DebugConfiguration();
}

Re: UniqueSessionId and 32bit number

2009-11-13T15:34:40Z

private doc ?
what private doc ?

this unique session id is just here to differentiate users and is
passed as a string to the backend

it may have been an overlook when the code have been ported from
javascript, but in itself it does not break the tracking
I can check from the ga.js later tonight as I don t have the code on

Thanks for your reply,

However, I wasn't talking of technique,
In the getUniqueSessionId() private doc, it is specified that it should
return an 32bit number, and I it seems to me that GA expects a 32bit number
- but I may be wrong on this point.

Re: UniqueSessionId and 32bit number

Hi,

nope

Utils.generate32bitRandom() should return a 32bit number

_getUniqueSessionId() does not need to return a 32bit number

In ActionScript 3.0, the Number data type can represent integers,

UniqueSessionId and 32bit number

2009-11-13T09:32:50Z

Hi,

While reading some parts of the source code, I stumbled upon this, in
the Tracker class:

private function _getUniqueSessionId():Number
{
var sessionID:Number = (Utils.generate32bitRandom() ^
_generateUserDataHash()) * 0x7fffffff;
_debug.info( "Session ID: " + sessionID,

Re: Using same utma values as the browser

no it will not work because you can not access the *real* SharedObject
path
in two different sandbox

see: File locations

so let's take
[link] and MyApp.air

when you call this
----
_SO = SharedObject.getLocal("analyti cs", "/");

Hi Zwetan,
Thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly, your method will allow me to view only part
of what I want. For example, I won't be able to setup goals and track
funnels with the custom segments. Right ?

I already have my custom badge installer passing parameters, and what
I don't understand is why creating a Sharedobject (like gaforflash is

Re: Using same utma values as the browser

2009-11-08T19:14:34Z

Hi,

humm I'm afraid there is no way to use the same utma in your different
scenarios

- on the web page you could use a small swf file with gaforflah
instead of the ga.js
but it would save the utam in the SharedObject as being "online"
so even if you were to reuse gaforflash in the AIR application

Using same utma values as the browser

2009-11-06T21:43:16Z

Hi,
Our application is an air module installed from a web page using the
adobe seamless installation.

We are interested in tracking from the time someone lands in the
download page to the time when they do things inside the app (like
purchasing).

The problem is that the utma values used in the browser are different

Just saw this...yes it was a backed fix we did.

There was no client library impact.

Re: GATracker object

2009-10-31T20:48:21Z

Hey Tom,

Interesting use case.

Typically you should create 1 tracker instance at the beginning of
your program and use the same instance to track multiple interactions
with content. Simply fixing where you create your tracking object
should help.
