its very easy:
1. Get a Google analytics account
2. Give it a URL
3. Google Analytics gives you a little bit of code to embed in the HTML
4. Paste the code into your html
5. Use one line of code in flash for every click
This is a great way to do path analysis in a Flash site.

Hi Matt,
I'm really new at all of this so forgive me if this is a silly question. Where do I paste the code? It says to paste it above the body tag but is that the one in my index and if so, do I do it before the first one?
Thanks for your help with this!
Hi Matt! I'm new to deciphering traffic on all-Flash sites... so once Google analytics are in place, how do you explain user traffic patterns, as "bounce rate" doesn't really apply like it does with HTML? -Karen
There's a much easier way that requires no ActionScript code and just a couple of lines of JavaScript. It sets up your site with deep linking(That's a very good thing) and automatically tracks what pages people view.
I wrote a short tutorial on it: Google Analytics for Flash
