    Hi -

    I am not an expert on how affiliate programs track clicks and conversions, but it appears a text link also includes a 1px image in the form of:

    <IMG SRC="http://service.affiliateprogram.com/crazylongLink/serve?bfmid=0101010101&siteid=10101010&bfpage=home" BORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" NOSAVE >
<A HREF="http://service.affiliateprogram.com/crazylongLink/serve?bfmid=0101010101&siteid=10101010&bfpage=home" TARGET="_top">Text link to Affiliate Program</A>
    Code (markup):
    I am doing some affiliate stuff from within a flash movie - how can I make sure that affiliate clicks that come from the getURL() actionscript function are tracked correctly? I assume the 1px image does something. So how can you integrate the tracking image with a flash swf ?

    Thanks!

    I don't do much with Flash either, but I recall a designer I know mentioning that you can embed straight html snippets within Flash files somehow, perhaps that could help?

    thats a good idea. I still don't know if the tracking will work.. but I will experiment and post the results.
