How to add a click tag code to Flash ads


(technical guide for flash developers)


    Action Script 3
  • Create a new top layer
  • On that top layer create a shape covering the whole area of the document.
  • Set the "alpha" to zero, which makes the shape transparent.
  • Make sure that the new share do not have unwanted borders.
  • Name the new shape "my_mc".
  • Click on the first time line of the new layer and open the action script (F9) editor.
  • In the action script editor select "ActionScript 3.0 " and enter the following code:

    // Define global parameter 'myClickString' to store to value of clickTag
    var myClickString:String='';

    // Navigate to the url when the user click on the flash object.
    function GoToUrl(event:MouseEvent) {
        var MyURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myClickString);
        navigateToURL(MyURL,'_blank');
    }
    my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoToUrl);

    // Set the cursor to hand when the mouse is over the movie Clip
    my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,myMcOver);
    function myMcOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
        my_mc.buttonMode = true;
        my_mc.useHandCursor = true;
    }

    // Get clickTag value from the Query-String, after loading the flash document completed.
    function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event) {
        var myQueryStrings=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
        myClickString=myQueryStrings.clickTag;
    }
    this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);

    Notes:
  • The string 'clickTag' is the name of the parameter we are adding to the flash call that contain the target url.
  • When you test the code, you have to supply the clickTag code as a query-string after the file name
  • Sample flash file download
  • In case you run the above sample on your desktop, please allow flash to access http://www.ibsystems.com, or modify the script to your own site.
  • The code above was tested with CS3 and CS5.5
