Flash content tracking
Tracking clicks in Adobe Flash content is easily achievable with the Oracle Eloqua asynchronous tracking scripts. The package you receive from Oracle Eloqua should have a Flash sample in it to help you out. The method used in that sample is outlined below:
Supposing you had a button in your Flash content you want to track, in your click handler, you would add the following code (replacing the parameter values with your own):
ActionScript 2:
on (release) {
// your button click handling code
elqTrackFlashClick('http://example.com/content/FlashButton1', 'http://http://example.com/content/referrer');
}
ActionScript 3:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event: MouseEvent): void
{
// your button click handling code
ExternalInterface.call("elqTrackFlashClick ('http://example.com/content/FlashButton1', 'http://http:/example.com/content/referrer')");
}
where "button_1" is the name of your button.
On your page that hosts the flash object, add the elqTrackFlashClick JavaScript function in the head section below the standard tracking scripts:
<script type='text/javascript'>
function elqTrackFlashClick(URL, referrer) {
_elqQ.push(['elqTrackPageView', URL, referrer]);
}
</script>
Putting it all together, your page hosting the Flash content might look like this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var _elqQ = _elqQ || [];
_elqQ.push(['elqSetSiteId', '<siteID>']);
_elqQ.push(['elqTrackPageView']);
(function() {
function async_load() {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
s.src = '//img.en25.com/i/elqCfg.min.js';
var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
}
if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',
async_load, false);
else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent('onload',
async_load);
})();
function elqTrackFlashClick(URL, referrer) {
_elqQ.push(['elqTrackPageView', URL, referrer]);
}
</script>
</head>
