As3: Track Pageviews only in Production Mode

/ Published in: ActionScript 3

There are many ways to tweak this code but hopefully this will get you all started. Whenever I'm tracking PageViews or Events for something like Google Analytics, I don't want navigateToURL() to interfere while I'm developing. These two functions will keep navigateToURL() from trying to load a Browser page until the SWF is loaded into an HTML page

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
  2. 	mc.buttonMode = true;
  3. 	mc.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, trackEventHandler, false, 0, true );
  4.  
  5. function isProductionMode():Boolean
  6. {
  7. 	var runtimeEvironment:String = Capabilities.playerType;
  8.  
  9. 	if (runtimeEvironment == "External" || runtimeEvironment == "StandAlone"){
  10. 		return false;
  11. 	} else {
  12. 		return true;
  13. 	}
  14. }
  15.  
  16. function trackEventHandler( e:Event ):void
  17. {
  18. 	//If the Complied Flash Player is on the HTML page, give it a Page View
  19. 	if( isProductionMode() ){
  20. 	    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("analytics._trackPageView()"), '_self');
  21. 	}
  22. }
