Please note:
Yaffa Media will continue to accept Flash creative post the Google Chrome update, although by default we will be displaying backup GIF to Chrome users only. This is to avoid Chrome blocking flash content.

FLASH SPECS

We recommend not to develop with the latest ActionScript features, so that you can save the Flash file in a lower version than the latest available one (e.g. in Adobe Flash version 7). This way, it is possible to reach more users.

ACTIONSCRIPT 2 & 3

FILE SIZE MUST BE NO LARGER THAN 100KB. A backup gif/jpeg file must be submitted with the SWF file - also to be no larger than 39kb in file size (The back up file is for displaying the ad on mobile devices.)

ANIMATION MUST NOT CONTAIN STROBING EFFECTS

  • Animation/Looping: maximum 30 seconds in duration
  • Frame rate per second: 24 fps or less

PLEASE DO NOT EMBED THE URL INTO THE FLASH FILE.
(Hardcoded click-through URLs in the creative file will cick through to specified URL but no error will be reported. AdTech will not track hard coded URLs, the use of the clickTag variable is therefore recommended. This tool cannot accept upload or creatives of the parent/child type.)

 

CLICK TAG

getURL
(Flash version 5 and lower) –

on(release)
{
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
}

 

getURL
Flash version 6 and higher) –

on (release)
{
getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank");
}

 

getUrlfunction
(ActionScript 3) -

if (root.loaderInfo.parameters["clickTAG"]) {
var clickTAG:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters["clickTAG"];
}
click_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, getUrlfunction);
function getUrlfunction(ev:Event = null): void {
ExternalInterface.call("window.open", clickTAG, "_blank");
}

Notes:

  • click_btn is the name of the link button. You can change it into every name / label you want.
  • It is possible to embed the clickTAG via external files
  • The command has been tested with Windows XP and various browsers:
    • Internet Explorer 6 and 7: It works (it overrides the pop-up blocker).
    • Firefox: It works (it overrides the pop-up blocker).
    • Opera: The browser asks the user to open the pop-up window manually.
    • Safari: It does not work
  • Multiple clickTAGs will be programmed just like single clickTAGs.
  • If a Flash file needs to contain more than one link URL they will be passed via va-riables with postpositioned numbers (clickTAG1, clickTAG2 etc.) to differen-tiate them from each other.
  • ADTECH IQ supports up to 10 clickTAGs in a Flash file.
