Are you using the same version of SWFAddress across all of the sites? It may be that the SWFAddress includes themselves are out of date, or have corrupted in some way. I would try to download the latest version again and re-upload it to the non-functional sites as this is the easiest point of failure to troubleshoot.

The domain name itself shouldn’t affect the SWFAddress at all as all of it’s functionality happens client side.

I uploaded the .swf from a NON-working site onto the domain of a working site, and it then began to work. So that eliminates the code as a possible source of the problem.

Are there particular settings that might be different from one domain on a server versus another domain on the same server that might cause the functionality of the SWFAddress to cease?

Thanks,

But now I have another issue. Not with THAT site, it is working great. But I’m trying to retro-fit another site with SWFAddress. I know everything SHOULD be working (by testing trace statements)…but for some reason, I’m only getting the Title Bar to change. It doesn’t change the URL in the address bar. Hence, it’s not creating history and therefore…not working!

It’s the same exact code as the original site, tweaked slightly for the different application. But I’m loading my javascript from the same location (which is my base site, not the domain on which the sites rest). And I’m calling the .as file from the same spot on my hard drive.

Any idea as to why it would only change Title and not the URL?? The site is http://www.atouchofcharmmassage.com

Thanks SO much for your help!

Thanks mate, nice site. You’re right SWFAddress has built in compatibility with Google Analytics, have you removed original Analytics code and configured your SWF address like this?

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-XXXXX-1″);
</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”swfobject/swfobject.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”swfaddress/swfaddress.js”></script>

eg: make sure you’ve got the var pagTracker set before including the swfobject & swfaddress JS and you should be set.

I have been developing Flash sites for quite some time, but just began using SWFAddress. I have implemented it on one of my sites, to test before retro-fitting more of my older sites.

I have the SWFAddress working fine on the site. However, as soon as I added the code to the site, my Google Analytics stats went to 0 for 4 straight days. I know it isn’t accurate, because I have been going through the site quite a lot testing everything.

What I’ve learned by reading online is that GA should be automatically tracking the hits to the various /#/pages automatically. I haven’t changed anything in my GA code.

Any suggestions? Site in question is http://www.BFRstudios.com
