February 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #45: How to make a Flash banner ad click through to your website

Tip of the Week

To make a flash banner ad click through to your website, you will use the geturl function in the action of the button on your banner ad. Create a button that overlaps the entire banner ad, and add the geturl function with the url to click through to. If you want to track clicks on your Flash banner ad, you will want to use the clickTag command. With this method, you will not embed the url within the banner ad. Instead, you will embed the clickTag command and provide the url to the publisher which they will include in an external text file. When your Flash banner ad is clicked upon, it will read the url in the text file and click through to your website.
