Events are visible in Google Analytics despite not being enrolled in Event Tracking Beta

Google recently announced Google Analytics Tracking For Adobe Flash by publishing gaforflash library. This is a standardized and officially supported way for flash platform to track pageviews and events, with the second available only in Event Tracking Beta. Yesterday I checked it out.

After some misunderstandings in the initiation process (tracker has to be of type AnalyticsTracker instead of GATracker) I got my pageviews tracked. But, as i am not enrolled in Event Tracking Beta, the GA user interface did not provide me with access to the events I had tracked. But today I found the cure for that – it is still possible to access event data by navigating to Content Overview and changing the URL from /analytics/reporting/content to /analytics/reporting/events.
