Hi Guys,
I worked for an agency, one of our clients needs Omniture integration into some flash files we are working on. From researching on the web I found that this can be done by...
1. ActionSource
2. AppMeasurement
3. POST or GET request
Can someone please point me to the official documentation on AppMeasurement and or ActionSource? I have tried digging through the Omniture Developer Connection and cannot find it anywhere. As we are not technically a client of Omniture but working for a Client who uses Omniture we do not have access to the usual login area.
Is it true that AppMeasurement has replaced ActionSource?
Is this now replaced completed by using POST or GET request instead?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
Yes, I have the same question.
What's the difference between "ActionSource.swc" and "AppMeasurement.swc" ?
When I dropped in the new "AppMeasurement.swc" to replace my current implementation with "ActionSource.swc" then I started getting null object reference errors in the play call:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Our SiteCatalyst report only shows custom links coming from buttons in our Flash - while movieClips do not seem to be sending them.
From the "Media Tracking Implementation Guide" (top of p.18) :
" ... a button or qualifying movie clip (Interaction Object), ... "
I cannot find any definition of a "qualified" movieClip or an "Interaction Object".
Help ?

Hi I'm in the same boat. We're an agency who are not technically a client of Omniture though we would like to create an implementation so that future customers who require Omniture for their video analytics will be able to hit the ground running with our software.
Chris, from what I have read AppMeasurement has replaced ActionSource. I couldn't find anything on the REST calls that will allow you to track, only to retrieve reports; it seems they want everyone to use AppMeasurement for the actual tracking. I found this doco on how to use it: http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/pdf/en/Media_Tracking_Implementation_Guide.pdf though that won't do any good without the swc file.
Are developers who are not customers able to download the AppMeasurement.swc to be able to provide this tracking for their clients? Is the AppMeasurement.swc compiled with specific client data in it, meaning that each instance of the .swc file is tied to that customer account only?

Hi, Nick.
We were able to get the Omniture folks on the phone who told us that "AppMeasurement.swc" was a drop-in replacement for "ActionSource.swc" and supported the same API.
Unfortunately, the last AppMeasurement.swc we downloaded had a crashbug when reporting media playback with the Media.play() call. So we're still stuck.
