• If you want your Flash ad to link to a URL, please do so before sending it.
• See below for instructions on how to make your Flash ad link to a URL

How To Link Your Flash Ad to a URL

1. Create ad
2. Create blank button with nothing on the up, over, down. On the hit behavior draw a box without a stroke the entire size of the banner ad (or even larger, it doesn’t matter)
3. Go back to the current scene and drag that button onto the work area. It should show up as a big blue square.
4. On a PC, click the button and go to your actions tab. Left click on the actions tab. The object actions box then appears.
5. Under the basic actions, click on the “Get URL” action. These words should appear on the right side:
on (release) {
getURL (“”);
}
6. At the bottom where you would normally put in your click thru URL this:
on (release) {
getURL (“normal url would go here”);
}
If you include a click-thru in the flash file at this step, you will need to code it to look like: http://www.yourUrl.com. This follows the clicktag command shown in Example 1. If you will be using different urls in the same flash or plan to change url frequently use Example 2.
Example 1: With URL in flash file button.
on (release) {
getURL(clicktag add ‘http://www.yourUrl.com’);
}
Example 2: Without URL in flash file button. To be used if you have multiple URL’S for same flash or multiple changing URL’S though out the campaign. Note: you must complete the process to step 8 before publishing flash file.
on (release) {
getURL(clicktag);
}
7. Click the expression check box to the right of that field. This will only be shown in Flash MX or earlier Versions.
Note: If you are using Flash MX 2004 you will not have this check box since everything is done in expert mode.
8. In the field immediately below where it says window to the left, drag down the target so that it says _blank
It should now look like this:
Example: With URL in flash file button & (add target):
on (release) {
getURL(clicktag add “http://www.yourUrl.com”, “_blank”);
}
OR this if you have multiple URL’S for same flash or multiple changing URL’S though out the campaign
Example 2: Without URL in flash file button.
on (release) {
getURL(clicktag, ‘_blank’);
}
9. Export your .swf file as usual.
10. Warning: if you do not use this method, your will not click to a URL link.
11. When using clicktag you must write (all lower case) or it will not work properly.

Create a square "Button" symbol that is larger than the viewable area (be sure layer frames are the full length of the movie). Set this "Button" symbol's Alpha to "0" (zero), this will make the button invisible.
On the stage, select the "Button" symbol and add "On mouse event" from the Basic Actions, then add "Get URL".
Enter the variable name "clickTag" and check the expression box. The actual URL will be entered in CheckM8.
For variables field, select "don't send"
File must be compatible with Internet Explorer 5.x, 6.x, and Netscape 4.7, 5.x, 6.x
