Setup:
- an online tv channel with "youtube" like clips and categories
- our own flash video player which can be embeded into other remote sites
- as2 flash player
Goal: To track who's embeding my videos, at least with basic statistics per domain.
Since it's AS2, it's harder to do this. My ideea is that I can create a php page which should be opened each time the player loads on any website; than the flash player can do a "geturl" of the php file which has Google Analytics code or some other decent tracker.
The geturl command could contain a variable like the Video Title which already is included in the player; and this title would pass on with GET to the php file and setup a dynamic page title which can be tracked very well.
Problem: how to i use the GETURL function without have user's browser open a new tab or window. Is there any hidden way to do it?
