User Tracking in Flash

dlinder · Mar 6th, 2008, 08:04

I'm writing a small model of a GUI, which I'm going to perform user tests on via the web. For these tests, I need to log all user action (button clicks etc). I have no problem with the actual logging, but how do I submit it from the tester so I'll be able to view the statistics? Note that the tests will be performed at the testers own computers.

Thanks a lot in advance.

You can run a javascript on the parent page to open an asp/php/perl/whatever page in an invisible frame. The parameters passed to the javascript can be used track each page.

Ok, so in this case I use javascript to open my Flash application, and then send parameters from Flash back to the javascript, which in turn saves them to a file?

I'm pretty new to this as you can tell

Thanks for all help!
