Different variations of clicktags
articles | Flash-Tips |
By Zeus Perez ::) | May 10, 2011
Have you ever hand coded an ad to one or more advertising networks? It’s annoying. All the companies that were ‘supposed’ to abide to the iab.net recommendations just get trampled by ad providers. Here’s a great example, Atlas. Instead of using clickTag they use clickTag1 for their network. That is really annoying since usually clickTag1, and clickTag2 are used when more than one link is being used in the ad. Now a long time ago I saw a rendition of an ad that was filled with variations of these flash tags. Now I know why it was created, in order to not have to create 4 or 5 different variations for different networks. The big issue though are Atlas’ ads since they use clickTag1. Thank you Alejandro Delgado for helping me with the AS2 code.
By the way, do not use on (press) instead of on (release) as the press event triggers pop-up blockers.

Sometimes you want to search online for answers and sometimes you are really, really, really lucky and get to meet a one of a kind individual like Alex. I could probably spend days looking for these answers, searching forums but I have the amazing opportunity to ask a Certified Adobe God -Alex (Alejandro Delgado). In this online chat I discuss with Alex options for Flash streaming media and our discussion turns towards HTML5 but we do get an understanding of what it takes to get a streaming server set up for not just AS2, but AS3 and for users without Flash 10.1. Thanks Alex for all your help. Please note, this took less than 20 minutes instead of days research. Click here to see the full discussion

By Zeus Perez ::) | Nov 19, 2010
This file will give you the basic principles to building the following ad using Flash Actionscript 1.0 with an animation of a starfield using just 1 keyframe with 8 layers. The stars have a hover effect too. Basically I just took code from some other file I found and created this one. I generally find bunch of bits and pieces to reconstruct my animations and keep reservoirs of my files online so I can reuse them. I hope these help someone. I know they help me quite a bit.
Remember, keep your animations simple but flashy, clean and sweet ;)
