When creating Flash banners it is necessary that the banner’s Click-URL is not physically hard coded into the “*.SWF” file. In order for the Click-URL to function correctly, it is required that the variable "clickTag" (case-sensitive since Flash-Plugin 7!!) is used as the Click-URL. When the Flash banner is delivered, the variable “clickTag” will be handed over to the Flash banner by the AdServer.
To implement the clickcounting to your Flash-File, simply insert a new top-layer button in the clickable area and add the following action:
on (release) {
getURL(_root.clickTag, "_blank");
}
The value is given through the easier available javascript-code, clickTag as variable is appended to the flashmovie-call:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="flashfile.swf? clickTag='+escape(Ads_ClickUrl)+'">
Due to the browser-restriction to 2084 characters in the Flash-Calling, we strongly recommend to append all variables via FlashVars:
