View 14 RepliesI need to create an expandable flash banner. I have tried using the DartMotif Tutorial and installed the plugin etc. However when i get so far it doesn't work. I've done the tutorial about 3 times now and still get stuck on the same part.
I was wondering if there is another way of creating expandable flash banners? Or, if anyone has a different tutorial. The tutorial i'm using was downloaded from [URL] called Motif Expanding Ad Tutorial.doc.
Later this year I will be producing a few expandable banners for a company. The banner is used to attract people and have them suggest candidates for a competition.I suggested the option of possibly integrating an application form in the expandable banner, which after submission should land the user on the landing page of the site.
But after I suggested this, I started thinking:I can't recall having seen a form in an expandable banner for a long time. Because of this, I assume the use of forms in banners might be considered a big no-no. If this assumption is correct: I am trying to figure out why this is. I understand this will be partially off-topic, since the rationale might be in the realm of marketing, rather than programming.
Programmatically:Are there typical security or other concerns that keep professionals from using forms in banners? I'm thinking maybe csfr attacks, etc. here.Usability:Is using a form in an expandable banner a typical no-no from a usability perspective? I'm thinking maybe banners accidentally closing when filling out the form, or too little space to inform the user of the purpose of the form perhaps?
Maybe it's a combination any of these categories? Or maybe none at all. I'm kind of trying to figure out whether my assumptions are correct, and why. Hopefully someone can shed a light on this matter from the perspective of any of the three categories.
I'd like to create a expandable flash file that lays over html content. Here's what I am trying to figure out how to do. I have a client that I made a flash banner for that has flash map that you can interact with which I loaded in as an external flash file. The client would like the map bigger for better viewing, but currently only the US map and not the whole world, so what I would like to do is make a button that expands just the US map with locations and add some rollover interactivity, but it would have to lay over the html content. So currently my flash file is 682 by 201 placed in div on html page, I'd like to expand out of that box to larger map system.
I've seen this expandable box thing in Flash Ads, but not just for regular content. Here's a really good example of flash expandable which would similar to what I would like to do just using on onclick so it stays and onclick to close. I've seen a lot of google ads do this to lately. I'm using the CS4 products. I've tryed making my original document the full size for instance, 682 by 501 and loaded that into my div, but when played, the flash is resized to fit in my div space of 682 by 201 and there is no expansion over html content at all.
I am being asked to create an expandable banner for a website. They want an ad to start at 175x300 and automatically expand to fill the webpage when you enter the page. Then have a close button. I have basic flash skills and have never created this before.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to create an expandable banner ad for my work, but I am not sure how they even work. What size do I make the canvas, the expandable size or the original banner size? Does the original banner size target another swf? I am just confused how the, say 300x250 banner, only shows that size on a site, without showing the expandable part...
View 0 RepliesI need some tutorials or help with this. I've been trying to figure it out, google for step by step with no luck. 960x30 ad to expand to 960x300 (sometimes possibly two or three .swf that are 300 that will interchange when user comes back to the site).We need open and close buttons with clickTag on the 30 and clickTag on the 300 work with APT server.
View 0 RepliesI recently received a project to do an Expandable banner that requires to have 3 videos inside. Now, the only video banner that I've done before is a Polite video MPU with only a single video inside, with the Eyeblaster. So Is this even possible to do? I've never done an expandable banner before let alone knowing if its possible to have 3 videos inside.
View 4 RepliesI have been in the print world for a while and flash has changed quite a bit. I am interested in learning about rich media and expandable banner ads.
View 4 RepliesI'm having problems with the following code and need to merge the 2 following code together.
on(rollOver) {
getURL("javascript:expandCreative('ContainerDivID' );");
gotoAndStop(2);
} on(rollOut) {
getURL("javascript:collapseCreative('ContainerDivI D');");
gotoAndStop(1);
}
on (release) {
if (clickTag.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
}}
Need the 2 following as above into one working code.
I'm trying create an expandable banner that when expands plays a video that has play, pause, mute buttons and a seek bar.
I've successfully created the video player and converted it to a symbol and it works when I copy it into other flash files so I know it's the banner that troublesome.
The problem is when I use it in the expanded part of the expandable banner I can't click on any of the buttons. I can see it's working as the video is playing and the seeker bar is moving. It's almost as if there's an invisible button over the top (the hand icon is visible) stopping me from hitting the buttons of the player.
The code for the expanding banner is very simple (see below)
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
I'm interested in learning more about Rich Media banners (floating, expandable, banners with video, and so on...).I've researched everywhere, and wondered if anyone knows how to pull this stuff off without using things like eyeblaster and dart motif. I know every site kind of has their own requirements, but where do you start?
1. I know I could design and create something that would function using transparency, but what about when you hand the banners off to the website you're advertising on? Do they just know how to implement an expandable or floating banner just by giving them an SWF file?
2. What about video? Most sites have like 20-30k file size limits. Do you have to host the videos on a different server and just pull the video in separately?
i need to make a expandable banner pushdown the rest of the page, can it be done in actionscript 2.0 inside the .FLA??? or i need to do this with javascript?

I created a banner with 9 in and out fading pictures. Also the navigation buttons are located in this banner. When I click on the navigation buttons in the banner and the next page is loaded, the banner starts playing at picture 1 again. Same goes for the navigation outside the banner. Is it possible to make the banner continue when you go to the nexte page? So when I click on a button while picture nmbr3 is showing and I get the next page it still is on picture nmbr 3 and not starting at picture nmbr 1 again.

I'm working on making a banner that sends some informations to a Url
Like this
Code: Select allbmi.aspx?hojde=2&kon=male&alder=4&vaegt=45
The itself is working like a dream, but now I want it to be more userfriendly. I want the banner to check if ex. the var from the query string "hojde" exist if so then pt this value in the text field for "hojde". If it doesn't exist then set a standard value of 100. For now I've worked only on the "hojde" var, so that's where you should look
i'm making a preloader for my banner rotator, but the reason to be here writing this post is to ask for help to fix a bug in my preloader, for example: When I click on a button to change the image while the preloader is counting it simply starts counting the the bytesLoaded of old image + the new image(bytes) of the button I've clicked. Then the percentage goes over the 100% ... I didn't want to disable the button, I know is possible in some way but I am not finding success.

i have to make a banner that expands over the website it sits in to reveal more content. i've never made one before so i was wondering a few things.

2) it looks like the banner sits in a css layer that's over top the rest of the site, is that correct? [URL]
