Setup:
* Create a GA tag on your site to track pageviews, using either Async or legacy
style
* Load the library into your AS3/Flash project and set it up with your account
code
In AS3 mode:
* Fire a tracking event and watch the result in HTTPFox or similar proxy monitor
* Note the difference between the "utmcc" attributes - basically the domain
hashing is different, as is the referrer. This causes the two requests to be
reported as different users, hyperinflating your traffic.
In Bridge Mode:
* It is not possible to use bridge mode with v5 javascript, in Async mode.
because the methods no longer exist on window.pageTracker or similar, and the
library does not wait until ga.js is loaded async before trying to use it
* It is necessary to write an additional bridge on the page to accept the
proxied function calls from AS to Javascript to create compatibility
Proposed resolution:
Requires that a V5 set of classes is written to the codebase, or a bridge
javascript file included in the project
Unfortunately I don't have the necessary AS3 programming knowledge to
contribute at the moment.
At very least, it should be clearly stated that this is happening so users are
aware of the limitation.
