In the following example.. lets say you have loaded a movie clip through action script from your library. something like

var myMovie = new movieInstance();
stage.addChild(myMovie);

Now lets assume you are trying to call a function when this loaded movie stops playing on the last frame.

if(this.parent.parent != null){
var parentObj:Object = this.parent as Object;
parentObj.function();
}

this.parent can be adjusted to set the depth of the parent you are trying to access. parentObj.function is the name of the function you are trying to access.

If you have any questions, just post, and we will be happy to assist.

Pros: Allows you to view click through rate.  As a bonus, it will show goal completions (only works if you have goals setup).

Cons: If you have the same link on your page, it will show the click through rate as a combined count and not for each individual text link.  For example, if you have 2 contact us links on your home page, one in the header and one in the footer, and they both link to http://www.mysite.com/contactus it will collect the clicks for that URL and not for the text link.  If some one clicks on the header, it will show that the footer has been clicked on as well.

Using it: Its simple.  Log in to your Google Analytics account.  Go to your website profile. On the Right hand navigation click Content -> Site Overlay.  This opens up a new window.

Patrick and Company initially hired us in early January for our video services, which is on display in their showroom at the Dallas WTC.  Our task was to produce a video that featured products from their vendor collection in random order, to be played in wide screen 16:9 on a flat panel window display.

After utilizing our video services, PatCo decided to retain our services for a new site design, which will be launching in late April.  To compliment their new site, we have also designed a monthly email marketing program targeted to existing customers, which will feature showroom specials and new product offerings.

Before we get into an explanation of PCI compliance and its requirements, we have to go
into a little history.

Beginning in June of 2001, Visa introduced their Cardholder Information Security
Program (CISP) to help protect cardholder data.  This program outlined fundamental
security requirements for all Visa merchants and service providers.

MasterCard created their program, known as the MasterCard Site Data Protection
Program (SDP).  Their program was designed to help issuers, acquirers, retailers, and
service providers protect themselves and the overall payment system against the threat of
compromises.

In December of 2004, Visa and MasterCard joined forces and officially announced the
combination of Visa’s CISP and MasterCard’s SDP programs.  Together, they recognized
the need for a common set of security requirements and a single validation process for
merchants and service providers.  The result of this collaboration is the Payment Card
Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.  Since 2004, American Express and Discover
Card have also approved this Standard within their own programs.

There are 12 requirements in the PCI Data Security Standard:
• Build and Maintain a Secure Network
1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect data.
2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other
security parameters.
• Protect Cardholder Data
3.    Protect stored data.
4.    Encrypt transmissions of cardholder data and sensitive information across
public networks.
• Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
5.    Use and regularly update anti-virus software.
6.    Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
7.    Restrict access to data by business need-to-know.
8.    Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access.
9.    Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
• Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
10.    Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.
11.    Regularly test security systems and processes.
• Maintain an Information Security Policy
12.    Maintain a policy that addresses information security.
Now as we all know it does not do any good to have rules (or standards) if they are
not enforced.  Therefore, one of the main parts of the PCI Data Security Standard
success is merchant and service provider compliance.  When the Standard’s
requirements are enforced, they can serve as a defense against data exposure and
compromise.  Part of this compliance is a required on-site PCI validation assessment
conducted by an approved Qualified Data Security Company (QDSC).

You may be asking yourself—what happens to companies who fail to meet the PCI
Data Security Standard.  The companies who do not comply can be fined, have
restrictions imposed on them, and/or expelled from the Payment Card System.  In
short, if you chose not to address PCI compliance for your business you may very
well find yourself unable to accept Visa, and possibly American Express and/or
Discover Card.

Now ask yourself how that would affect your bottom line?
