Hi guys ( and girls ) today i will talk about the GA for Flash without use any component, only the GA library, like in post title: easy way.

Well the first part is download the GA library: http://code.google.com/p/gaforflash/downloads/list
There you will download a compacted file and when extract it, into the ‘lib’ folder you will see two swc files but the important file now is the analytics.swc

Second step is add analytics.swc file in your library path on Flash. Go to Edit > Preferences > Actionscript > Actionscript 3.0 Settings and now you may browser for SWC file on library path and select the analytics.swc file. Done? Fine. Now we can begin code.

In order for bridge mode to function correctly, ExternalInterface.avaliable must be set to true in your ActionScript 3 code. This also means thatallowScriptAccess should be set to always in the HTML page that embeds the Flash content.

Probably into your project files have a ‘mother function’ for your navigation and is in this function that analytics will have more efficiency, but lest import the GA classes first and after create the GATracker:

1
2

import com.google.analytics.AnalyticsTracker;
import com.google.analytics.GATracker;
// @ Creating the GA Object
var tracker:AnalyticsTracker = new GATracker( this, "UA-111-222", "AS3", true );

The upper code import and create the GA Object into your project, well import is the same code always but when you create the object need change the data for your Google Analytics account.

private function changeLink(m:MouseEvent):void
{
	pageID = m.currentTarget.id;
	pageName = pageList[pageID];
	// @ Using bellow custom loader and Events
	var newLoader:loadit = new loadit("pageName");
	newLoader.addEventListener(Events.PROGRESS, showProgress);
	newLoader.addEventListener(Events.COMPLETE, showPage);
	// @ Adding GA for Flash
	tracker.trackPageview("/ + String(pageName) + ");
}

The tracker.trackPageview will send to your HTML page a event alway that changLin function be executed and one day after in your Google Analytics account you will see the access for your flash links. tracker.trackPageview (virtualPage:String), this virtualPage receive the name that your put to your pages, no need physic file but you can set the name like one for sample

32

tracker.trackPageview("/pageName.php");

In your results will appear the access to pageName.php but this file no need exist, its so simple to use.
Try it.

I really knew nothing about the htaccess file before meet this htaccess online editor. You can restrict folders, change the initial page name or extension.

A simple htaccess document that i was never wrote and today i made my first in two minutes:

<files  ?^.(htaccess|htpasswd)$? ~>deny from all
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 400 400.htm
ErrorDocument 401 401.htm
ErrorDocument 403 403.htm
ErrorDocument 404 404.htm
ErrorDocument 500 500.htm
DirectoryIndex default.php index.php init.php
order deny,allow
deny from restrict.php

Really good to try.

Flash Lite 3.1 includes the same features as Flash Lite 3.0, such as support for Flash Player compatible video, with some additional enhancements including improved security model for SWF file access. The solution delivers a standalone player for applications, without affecting the Flash Lite browser plug-in or pre-installed standalone player, if present.

Adobe Mobile Packager. The Adobe Mobile Packager is a desktop tool to wrap a SWF application with a player version checker, an icon, and metadata into an installable file for user-friendly discovery on S60 and Windows Mobile devices. The resulting output file is recognizable by S60 (.SIS) and Windows Mobile (.CAB) operating systems, acting essentially like .ZIP or .AIR files.

Authoring support is provided via Adobe Flash CS4 Professional and Adobe Device Central CS4 with corresponding updates, or via Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Device Central CS3.

1. Create
Create and test your Flash Lite application using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional and Adobe Device Central CS4 (with corresponding updates below), or Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Device Central CS3.

2. Package
Use the Adobe Mobile Packager to wrap your SWF file with an icon, metadata, and a version checker that downloads the latest Flash Lite player over the air.

3. Distribute
Reach millions of users with direct-to-consumer distribution, or leverage the marketing reach and billing services of off-deck aggregator partners, including GetJar, Thumbplay, and Zed.

4. Discover
After downloading, your end users can discover your Flash application through a visual icon just like other applications on the device.

Depois de muita gente começar usar o beta do Flash CS4 começaram os pedidos loucos por um help descente que pudesse mostrar como interagir com as novas ferramentas do programa, bones, 3D entre outros. A cara do help é como do LiveDocs mas com um layout ligeiramente alterado, para melhor claro.

Como diz o mestre Lee Brimelow, no ponto que estamos ninguem precisa mais de documentação do Actionscript 2. Vamo migrar minha gente. Abaixo tem o link do CS4 Help e do guia de programação em As3 para quem interessar.

Affew, postado um poquinho das novidades do Flash CS4, depois da apresentação do CS4 e ver algumas das novidades do novo “brilhante” pacote Creative Suite da Adobe, como amante do Flash, fiquei louco louco louco depois de conhecer as novidades do Flash, principalmente o que diz respeito ao suporte 3D e Bones ( vivaaaaaaaaaaa bones ) nem acrediti quando vi clips ligados interagindo um com o outro.

Suporte a cores ainda é interligado com o Kuler (kuler.adobe.com) via o RSS do proprio aplicativo online, onde se pode selecionar sets competos ou pegar somente as cores que precisa naqueles momentos de pesquisa ou falta de inspiração hehe.

Ficou bem parecido com o a interface do After Effects, mas com uma interação e animação que jamais tinha visto antes, a qualidade das imagens mesmo em perspectiva ficou quase que perfeito. Vale a pena conferir o video postado no GotoAndLearn.com sobre as novidades do Flash CS4, muito bom mesmo.
