ClickTAG for Flash (swf) creatives How to assign a clickTAG to flash (swf) file A clickTAG is the tracking code assigned by an agency to register when an advertisement is displayed and clicked on. The click through data is collected by the adserver enabling advertisers to determine how effective their campaign is or can be. The code below will allow an adserving network to dynamically assign a click TAG to their ad: on (release) { getURL(clickTAG, “_blank”); } The URL cannot be embedded into the ad itself. The adserver will need to set this URL when the ad is called. To do this the URL needs to be passed into the GetURL action from the query string of the Param and Embed Src. 1.Edit the fla file 2.Right click on the scene to and select movie explorer 3.In movie explorer select the object actions tab 4.Find the action, which is associated with the button (click) 5.Double-click this action to edit it. In the URL box specify ‘clickTAG’. In the window box specify “_blank” to open in a new window. Variables should be set to ‘don’t send’ and the top expression box should be checked. 2. Different variables for click-through URLs: 3.“_blank” = new window“_top” = same window (breaks out of frames) 4.“_self” = same frame/window “_parent” = parent frame (if nested in 3 levels of frames, breaks out to 2 levels)
