Flash specifications

Setting Up Flash Creatives
If supplying a Flash creative you must also supply a back-up gif or jpg to serve to users that do not have the Flash plug-in. A hard-coded URL must NOT be used, in order for our software to track clicks we require your Flash creative to be set-up using our guidelines as follows:

  1. From Macromedia Flash, open your .fla file.
  2. Select the frame or object that you would like to track the click on.
  3. From the Modify Menu, select Instance. The Instance Properties screen will appear. Change the object behavior to Button.
  4. Right-click on the symbol and select Actions.
  5. From the Actions menu select the OnMouse event and check the “Press” option.
  6. From the Actions menu add a getURL action and in the URL box type “url” (no quotes) in lowercase, and check the “Expression” option next to it, in the Window field, select “_blank” and make sure Variables is set to Don’t Send. DO NOT TYPE THE COMPANY URL but the word URL.  Your code should look like this:

on (press) {
    getURL(url, ”_blank”);
}

If you are using Flash MX, just enter the code as shown below:

on (press) {
    getURL(url, window=”_blank”);
}

  1. Click the OK box to accept the changes and proceed to publish or export your .SWF. Your Flash file is now ready to be tracked.

The purpose of setting up your Flash creative like this is so that we can control the URL. This means that you will still need to supply us with your intended URL, just not hard-coded into the Flash file. Should you wish to change your URL, just notify us and we can change it on the fly.

You can find more information on how to track Flash Banners at the Macromedia Rich Media Advertising Center at: http://www.macromedia.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/designers_guide/.
