BrightCove GoogleAnalytics + ComScore Plugin

/ Published in: ActionScript 3

ComScore previously had a BrightCove plugin which now no longer works with the updated BrightCove players. Here I used the GoogleAnalytics plugin code BrightCove provided and piggy-backed the ComScore code onto it. Using the Advertising Module API in order to allow ComScore to track both ads and video content.
