I 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.

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 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 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.
I 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 RepliesLater 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'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.
does anybody know how to make a flash banner ad expand over content?

if i have two different fla files - one unexpanded fla and an expanded fla - how would i make this work on a webpage?
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 just started recently using more of AS3.All of our previous banners were in AS2 (before my time here) so I just continued to work within that.I am on a Mac and using Flash 5.5.However, I am now creating some new banners in AS3 from scratch.There are 6 total clickTags on the banner that we track.There is an invisible button over the entire banner that stays on there to a specific keyframe and has a clickTag.Then, at the very end there are 5 text buttons each with a clickTag.
When I test it in Flash 5.5 it plays fine but gives me the following warning under the Output tab:WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.I have done some research and keep seeing that I need to place the actions on separate keyframes.What code do I use and does each clickTag need to be on it's own keyframe?Below is the general clickTag code we have been using but the banners are in AS2.
on (release) {
getURL(_level0.clickTag2, '_blank');
}
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 building a banner ad and I am using Flash CS4. I need it so when someone clicks the banner it takes them to the page in a new window. Its just a a simple URL and I keep getting syntax errors now and I dont know how to do this properly. I have tried these methods.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a flash banner ad that loads when a page loads and gives the user the option to minimize it. When the ad is minimized, I wanted to leave a box (that could also function as a mini version of the larger ad)that could be clicked and reload the ad if desired.
I have been struggling with how to do this. I tried creating two movies, one for the main ad and one for the smaller box that remains after the ad is minimized. I inserted the object code for the larger ad into my html and it loads and will load the smaller ad then the button (for minimizing the ad) is clicked but the smaller ad loads in the area defined by the object code for the larger ad. I am not sure how to work around this.

View 1 Repliesim looking for a way to carry through an affiliate banner tag within a download link with my flash MC. the initial php script is

I would need to add some variable I guess to the flash?
I have made 1 Flash banner 728x90, the next one has smaller dimensions (468x60) but the proportions are the same so, I duplicated the document, grabbed the movie clip containing the animation and used the transform tool to make it the correct size.Some of the images need replacing as resizing didn't treat them well. But since I am trying to add them to the resized movie clip they appear too small.
