Description
While checking the http request in Firebug, I noticed that __utm.gif is called twice on a page where Google Analytics module and SWFAddress module are both in action.
Apparently, the swfaddress lib has build in google analytics support. Source:
http://www.anttikupila.com/flash/flash-swfaddress-and-google-analytics/
Now my question: is there anything we could do to prevent the double loading? The google analytics servers are known to be not the fastest serving machines, so I'm really eager to make sure that __utm.gif is only called once.
Anyone able to reproduce this problem or perhaps has a solution?

[after a long while]
can't you call google analytics inside your flex or flash appliacation instead of drupal module?

As of SWFAddress 2.1, it will automatically support interfacing with the new ga.js tracking script:

Are you using the new tracker or not?
