Google Analytics has a new feature that uses Flash events to track player events. This feature is better than the previous approach, which used JavaScript tracking code that lived in the player's hosting page and therefore didn't follow along with a virally-distributed player. The Help Center has two new topics that lay out two approaches to using Google Flash Tracking with your Brightcove players:
- The simplest approach uses an out-of-the-box plug-in that you can download from Brightcove and configure your players to connect to.
- The more advanced approach requires some familiarity with ActionScript development. This topic shows you how to develop your own custom SWF to connect your players with Google Analytics Flash Tracking.
