How to execute Javascript before trigger flash click tag

Question

I have a flash swf file, which implemented a clicktag function (go to some URL), as I need to record how many user click the flash, so is there any ways to execute a javascript function(record userid) before user was redirect to the destination?

Here the clickTag

on (release) {  
    if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {  
        getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");  
    }  
}

javascript function look like:

function regUserid(ID){  
    $.ajax{  
        url:reg.php,  
        cache: false,  
        type: "GET",  
        data: ID 
    }  
}

What does your code look like now? Can you show some code?

First of all, your AJAX call has some errors in it. It needs to look like:

$.ajax({  
    url: reg.php,  
    cache: false,  
    type: "GET",  
    data: ID 
});

( and ) needed to be added.

Second, what I would do is send the user to your own website and add a parameter to the url so you can record the url, and in the JavaScript (or even better, your PHP) function, send them off to the correct website.

So something like:

on (release) {  
    if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {  
        getURL('http://www.yourownurl.com/reg.php?url=' + clickTAG, "_blank");  
    }  
}

And in your reg.php you do something to save the clickTag and use header('location:' . $_GET['url']) to send them to the correct website.

Update:

If you want to use ExternalInterface you can do the following:

on (release) {  
    if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {  
        ExternalInterface.call('regUserid', clickTAG);  
    }  
}

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html That is assuming you want to send the data to your regUserid function. clickTag is the parameter in the function regUserid. If you do this you still need to redirect your user to the right website. So something like document.location.href="http://www.example.com".

thank for you reply, but I am not going to do only 1 function for javascript, I may need to add some more function in the reg(ID), is there any other suggestion? Thank again!

You could use ExternalInterface.

Great! As I am new to flash action script, your answer is really helpful!!! So could my code like this? -> ExternalInterface.call('regUserid', clickTag); getURL('http://destination.com',"_blank");
