Hope that helps. Javascript is not a serverside code so you could do something like:
s.events=”event1:”+unique_id();
and create a Javascript function called unique_id that returns a uid.

Hope that helps.

As you mentioned, the the documentation is not very good. What I need to know is what do I use to serialize my custom events. I can't use javascript, because it is not serverside. Any ideas as to what I should use to create a unique number for my custom events? Thanks! I have not been able to find anything for serialization.

UUID will not create an ID smaller than 32 characters. I ended up using a timestamp based id instead to come in at 14 characters.
