Projects Open Source Flash. Flare | Data Visualization for the Web. Google Analytics for Flash: Welcome to the Engagement Era. The explosion of Flash content like widgets has created several complex problems, like how to index it in search engines, how to make it work on mobile, and how to track it. The latter is being addressed today at Adobe Max, where Google is announcing Analytics Tracking for Flash, which will let publishers track metrics for their flash applications from within Google’s popular stats package. Aside from the unique file format, one of the major differences between tracking Flash and tracking webpages is that Flash can be embedded anywhere – meaning that analytics software needs to be able to measure interactions from not just a single location, but from within an application, regardless of where it’s placed.
To demonstrate how Google Analytics now does this, the company has teamed up with web-based Flash creation tool Sprout. Google and Sprout demonstrate how this works in the video below: Shine Draw - Your Flash and Silverlight Repository | Blog. Project Rosetta.
