How do I set up clickTag for Flash ads?
clickTag is a standard feature within Flash that makes it possible to dynamically insert the click URL at the moment your ad is served and ensure that clicks are tracked properly within Traffiqo. When building the Flash creative, the designer must correctly implement clickTag functionality or the ad will not click through to the landing page at all.
Traffiqo only supports “clickTag”. If there is not an exact match (e.g., ClickTag, or clickTAG), there’s a good possibility that the ad will not work.
The following block of code is a perfect example of working clickTag code.
on (release) { if (_root.clickTag.substr(0,5) == "http:" || _root.clickTag.substr(0,6) == "https:") { getURL(_root.clickTag, "_blank"); } }
Please note: This refers to the pre-compiled ActionScript code, not HTML. Check your ActionScript code, and make sure that all instances of clickTag are the same, and are using the proper case. If your SWF file was created by another party, you may need to obtain an updated SWF file, and upload the new file into Traffiqo.
For best results, export SWF files for Flash 8 or 9, using ActionScript 2.0. Newer versions may prevent clickTag from working in some browsers.
