Click Tracking:
The author of the Flash source file (.fla) has to assign a clickTag variable using a getURL button action. They also have to make sure that they have selected _blank for a target so it opens in a new window.

A helpful link:
Tracking Macromedia Flash Movies
The button action code should look like one of these examples:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTag,"_blank")
}

on (release) {
getURL(_level0.clickTag,"_blank")
}

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