AS3 Javascript Call Sequencer + Omniture + Google Analytics
Here’s a little utility that I did for multiple Omniture calls to a javascript in the html page. It will also accept another call, such as an iFrame refresh. It delays each call a tiny bit to make sure that events are fired off. Also has a runtime environment detection so your browser window doesnt keep popping up during publishing. Source file below as well.
Usage:
// Genric Javascript
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(
“AutoReloadIFrame();”
);
}
//or…
// Omniture call
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(
“var x = new Object(); x.pageName = ‘Primary Section - Secondary Section’;trackPageView(x);”
);
}
//or…
// Google Analytics call
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(
“_uacct = ‘YOURGOOGLEACCOUNTNUMBER-000000-1′; urchinTracker();”
);
}
// And of course you can stack calls
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(“AutoReloadIFrame();”);
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(“function1();”);
_oSendJavascript.addEvent(“function2();”);
The class:
/**
* @author Donovan Adams
* @version September 28, 2007

* @description SendJavascript Tracking Utility. Queues up SendJavascript events that fire off incrementally.
*
* @usage Example:
<div class="codesnip-container" >// This should only be called once! THe SendJavascript class is a Singleton pattern
_oSendJavascript = SendJavascript.getInstance();
// Called whenever an even needs to be triggered.
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
_oSendJavascript.addEvent("AutoReloadIFrame();");
}</div>
