I am trying to make a banner ad that allows me to tracks stats / click thrus.I thought I could use clickTags, but i don't know if I can since I need to have the MY link embedded in the fla.

View 2 RepliesI working on a flashbanner. It is a dynamic textfield called "regnr" where the user is supposed to add a registration number (of their car) before clicking the send button. This code is on the button:
Code:
on(release){
//getURL("[URL]"+regnr.text);
getURL(_root.clickTag+regnr.text,"_blank");
}}
It works when the domain is hardcoded but doesn't work when I am using the clickTag. Is it possible to add variables like this to a clickTag? How could this be done to actually work?
i am trying to get a 'clickTag' variable to work within a flash banner ad which i didn't make.. i have been assured that within the flash file the variable is being 'expected'.. i am using swfobject to pass in the clickTag variable..
[Code]...
the flash banner displays fine.. but there is 'clicking' element of it is not working.. ie. there is no link on the banner.. can anyone see any problems with the way i am doing this...? or.. is the problem definitely within the swf....??
I'm trying to find out if there is a way of using clickTag and Google Analytics to track outgoing banner clicks. clickTag code:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}
Maybe someone can tell me whether the following would work:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL("javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/somebannerad');");
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}
like a solution that worked with the standard clickTag code and didn't involve changing any code in the flash file.
I've been asked to add clickTAG to a banner ad. I used ActionScript 3 and my research shows it only works with ActionScript 2. Is this true?

[code]...
I've done a banner ad for my client. The marketing company is kicking it back saying the clickTAG variable is not working. Below is the required code and specs. The attached Zip file has the ad. I'm a newbie to AS2, which is required for the ad.
Click Tags:All Flash banner ads are required to support the clickTAG variable. The clickTAG is the tracking code assigned by the publisher to an individual ad. It allows the publisher to register where the ad was displayed when it was clicked and helps ReachLocal evaluate the effectiveness of the banner creative.
On any click, Flash ads should redirect to the URL specified in the clickTAG argument; there should be no other redirection in between.The variable name must be reflected exactly as follows: clickTAG (upper-case TAG; no space between click and TAG; not click tag, Click Tag, or any other form).The Flash banner ad should contain the following code for the clickTAG parameter:
on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") { getURL(clickTAG, "_blank"); }
}
The above code should be copied and pasted into the banner ad�s code exactly
* as it appears above.The code should not specify the destination URL for the ad; this is a responsibility of ReachLocal.
*Additional Web Developer Information: Depending on the structure of your Flash ad, it may be necessary to prepend "_root." or "_level0." to the clickTAG above, resulting in "_root.clickTAG" or "_level0.clickTAG".
Not really resolved, just giving up
View 2 RepliesSo what i did is made a new layer called it Click Tag and put a button on it and made the button invisible, then i added this Action script to it
on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0, 5) == "http://www.ozarksfederal.com/") { getURL(clickTAG); }}
Ozarks Federal is the company advertising on the banner i made...and that's there websiteI think this is right but i don't know how to test if it is right?
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.
Is there a standard way to send variables through a banner ad? A client wants a banner that lets the user enter his mobile number, then receives a code by sms, and then enters the code into the banner. If the code then validates, the user is sent to a page with a login form with the phone number and code filled in. It must be possible to add the phone number and code as parameters to the clickTag somehow? I found that Adform supports using ";cppar=1&" and then variable=value pairs, but is this a standard, or a special feature of Adform?

View 1 Replieshow to put the code into the HTML file to complete the clickTAG process for a banner ad.
I have put the following code onto the button (covers whole ad):
on (release) {
clickTAG = "http://" + clickTAG.slice(7);
if(clickTAG.substr(0,4)=="http") getURL(clickTAG,"_blank");
}
but I need to know what to do with the HTML doc....Is this how the ad goes to the intended location like a regular URL link would?
I have a gane that uses shared object and keeps note of highscores and users names. So - if that is possible then I can set up teaching courses on standalone pcs can't I? ie: Databses I have in access can go in XML and the recording of position in course and results of tests can also be recorded using Shared object.Is that a good way of going about things OR should the whole thing go over to AIR and its sqlite system?

I made an invisible layer and put this code on it. The swf showed the hand, but when I clicked on the banner nothing happened, on my end or on the live site.Then I used this code:
on(release)
{getURL(clickTag,"_blank")}
On my end it would open a blank page. On their end they got a 404 message.Why is it not connecting to the server and opening the link? Is there something in my file that could be preventing either clickTAG from working?I exported in Flash 9. I'm using a loop code. I have many layers and masks, but all are under the invis. layer.
In my flash, I created a transparent button in the first frame in the uppermost layer and in the timeline it spanned the entire flash. I'm running CS4 AS 2.0 and flash player 10 When I right click the button and add the code in actions on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") { getURL(clickTAG, "_blank"); } } and I try to export, I get a compiler error: Mouse Events Are Permitted Only For Button Instances.
View 3 RepliesI have setup a profile card which displays information about individuals by pulling data from an XML database. I have multiple text fields and couple movie clips that display images but I need a datagrid to display stats for each individual. The stat information is set as attributes on a array of XML nodes each node is a year.
Example XML
<hockey><profile>
<name>Wayne Gretzky</name>
<image>pic1</image>
<dob>Jan 26, 1961</dob>
<position>Centre</position>
[Code] .....
The red information is what i need to get displayed by the Data Grid for each profile.
StandingEventSportGold1981 Canada CupIce HockeyBronze1984 Canada CupIce Hockey. The swf has buttons to cycle through the profiles which loads the new information from the XML.
I am following this: [URL]. And parsing the logs to get the stats of applications is hard if theres heavy traffic its hard to get everything to parse right. Would it be easier to import all the stats into mysql db once an hour that way its easier to work with?
View 1 RepliesI have java remoting services(more then 25) on my (Tomcat BlazeDS)server which are called from my Flex client application.I need to collect stats on them like how much time each service is taking(total time).There are three approaches I can do this in my opinion(may be more)
1) change each service and add timer at beginning and ending.bad practice
2) I can also use AOP but I feel its an over kill for this requirement.over kill
3) servlet Filter. Good option
I am doing a game. at the beginning you select your player. Later in the game you can view your stats and stuff. In the stats area, I want it to show the player you picked. To do this I have put this on the button that you hit to select the player. On release _root.brad(name of player)=true Now, I am guessing that to make the oic of brad show under stats I make a rectangle box where I want him. I then made it a movie clip. Now I am putting the code: If _root.brad=true (then show the pic) I am lost on how to make it show the pic of brad.

I've designed an as3 flash banner with 3 input fields. The user fills in these fields and clicks a button. The text from these fields are then stored as variables, which needs to be included in the target url - like this:
websitestuff...?a=1&b=2&c=3
This is no problem. However, here's the issue: The banner needs to use clickTAG as it will be uploaded to Google Adwords. I can make the clickTAG part work, but have been unsuccessful in also adding the 3 variables after the url.
First time on here.We teach English through games. All done on flash AS3 now. Want to put courses online so I have been told to use php to communicate to server and database. My question is:Do I use mysql to save stats or xml FIRST: I will get info from xml and send it to my activities in flash - I'm OK with thisSECOND: I want to send out stats from flash to mysql OR xml. The stats are:1. Student logs on of course using username and password (well that comes in not out)2. What lesson the student is on ie: 2, 3, etc...3. Highscores for game activities4. Scores student gets on each activity As far as I can see the only stats that grow are the scores on each activity and even those could be erased periodically.
View 1 RepliesI'm designing a Flash Ad that requires a specific clickTAG.
this.onMouseDown = function() {
var fo:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
fo.send(_root.clickTAG, "_top", "POST");
}
I want to implement user initiated sound, but I can't seem to define a certain region for the clickTAG. Also I'm using AS 2.0. I know the clickTAG won't take me to the proper location, but I uploaded it to my website to test the audio. [URL]. I tried placing an invisible movie clip over the location I want the clickTAG to work and attached the ActionScript to the mc.
When I scroll over the audio button it changes, but when I click it, instead of playing the audio it just tries to go to the URL. I also tried using a button, but that didn't work either. The website requires this specific clickTAG, which is annoying because I've used others in the past that didn't have this issue.
I'm building a Flash banner (as3) for AdWords, but I can't find in their documentation whether it is possible to add hash or querystring variables to appear in the eventual target url when u are using a clickTAG. Ideally I would like to use both. For example, my banner has four input fields and I would like to build my target url thusly:
var base:String= "http://www.example.com";
var qs:String= "?one=" + input1.text + "&two=" + input2.text;
var hs:String= "#three=" + input3.text + "&four=" + input4.text;
var targetUrl:String= base + qs + hs;
flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(targetUrl), "_blank");
Is this possible with AdWords while using clickTAG?
