Tracking with Flash Player plugin

For when you want to track from a SWF file.

Use Cases

on the web or online or local
a SWF file embedded in an online HTML page
using either the http:// or https:// protocols
a SWF file embedded in a local HTML page
using the file:// protocol
a SWF file running locally
from Flash CS, FlashCC, Flash Builder,
Standalone Flash Player, etc.
a SWF file embedded in a projector

Limitations

from a local HTML page or a projector
the domain will default to localhost
maybe some issues depending of the storage
if you use SharedObject in a projector for example
maybe some issues if the SWF flag "Access local files only" is set
vs using the flag "Access network only"

Optionals

bridge with JavaScript to read the analytics.js cookie
and obtain/reuse the ClientId from that cookie
bridge with JavaScript to obtain more informations like
the referrer, the page encoding (if different from UTF-8), etc.
