Information for Macromedia Flash Formats

To enable the correct tracking and transfer to your required landing page within the Best Flights Ad serving system a Flash ActionScript 'expression' is required to track a single click event within flash.

Expressions will work with loadMovie and getURL events however will not work with Load Frame actions, as they are internal events and do not call for anything outside of the swf file.

The following ActionScript expression is required:

on (press) {
getURL("http://www.bestflights.com.au/cgi-bin/adrotation/click.cgi?id=xx", "_blank");
}

The xx identification information will be supplied to you when your advert is ready to run its campaign. Your design team needs to implement this in your advert banner and then compile the banner to send through to Best Flights for testing and serving.

STEP ONE

Open your advert flash .fla file or the pre-compiled swf file.

STEP TWO

Create a click event object by drawing a rectangle over the banner clickable area in a new layer on the top level of your design.

STEP THREE

Convert to Symbol and change the Behavior setting to Button.

STEP 4

Adjust the Colour setting to Alpha 0% to make the clickable area invisible.

STEP 5

Open the Actions window for the Button and select FlashUI Components.

STEP 6

Enter the following ActionScript code and edit the URL line as below entering your provided id reference number to replace the XX.

PUBLISH THE FILE

Now you are ready to publish the new file(s). You will select 'File' and then click 'Publish Settings'. This will allow you to select the settings and file types to publish the Flash movie.
