I've got a flash movie (FLV file) that is on a website. I'd like to track it using getURL. My question is this: I was given the movie as a completed file. Can I add 'getURL' to the html code somewhere. I can't open the FLV file to edit it.
 
I'm tracking with a analytics site called getclicky.com. I need to add an action to getURL. If I can't modify the FLV, I think I've thought of a solution around the problem.
 
Thank you for your help, oldnewbie. what I ended up doing was using a combination of CSS and javascript. I put the movie in a div and set it to display:none. I set a graphic in the same location that linked to the movie and when you click the graphic, you set it's display to none and set the movie div's display to block. This way I'm tracking the clicks to the movie. It's working great.
