Flash clickTAGs
The directions below describe how to code Flash clickTAGs.
One click-through URL:
—Go to the "getURL action" of your Flash ad.
—In the "URL" field, delete the click-through URL and write: clickTAG (if the button is in a sub movie clip and not in the main movie, you will need to write _root.clickTAG)
—Check the expression box next to that field
—In the "Window" field (located right below the "URL" field) write: _blank
—Export as an .swf file
—The finished code should appear as:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
Multiple click-through URLs:
—Go to the "getURL action" of your Flash ad.
—In the "URL" field, delete the click-through URL and write: clickTAG.
—In the "Window" field (located directly after the "URL" field) write: _blank.
—For each click action the URL variant would be represented by the variable clickTAG.
—For each additional click action where a new landing page is used, a unique clickTAG variant is required, i.e. clickTAG, clickTAG1, clickTAG2, etc. (see example below)
—Export as an .swf file.
—The finished code should appear as:
Click Action #1:
on(release)
{ getURL(clickTAG,"_blank");
}
Click Action #2
on(release)
{
getURL(clickTAG1,"_blank");
}
Click Action #3
on(release)
{
getURL(clickTAG2,"_blank");
}
