Published in: ActionScript 3 

Needed to figure out how to call Google's Urchin Tracker in AS3 since getURL is no longer available. This example uses External Interface


Plain TextExpand 
  1. //ExternalInterface Send Method
  2. ExternalInterface.call("urchinTracker",trackingStr);
  3.  
  4.  //Strip Out Spaces and Replace with Underscores
  5. var pattern:RegExp = / /gi;
  6.  
  7. //Formulate Tracking String
  8. var formattedVideoTitle:String = _videoTitle.replace(pattern, "_"); 
  9.  
  10.  
  11. var trackingStr:String = "/" + _trackingPath + "/" + formattedVideoTitle;
  12.  
  13. //URL Request Send Method
  14. sendToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:urchinTracker('"+trackingStr+"');");
