clickTAG not working
I have a banner ad that works fine if I use getURL and hard-code a link but
doesn't do anything if I use clickTAG so that the clicks can be tracked. I
have looked all over the internet and checked my code dozens of times and can't
figure out what is wrong. I am outputting as Flash 8 AS2.
I know the invisible button layer is right since the hard link approach with
it works.
Here is the swf code for the symbol:
[Q]on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
}
}[/Q]
And here is my html code in the page:
[Q]<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>SlowTwitchBanner1</title>
<script language="javascript">AC_FL_RunContent = 0;</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<!--url's used in the movie-->
<!--text used in the movie-->
<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
AC_FL_RunContent(

); //end AC code
}
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve

</noscript>
</body>
</html>
[/Q]
And here is the banner on the server:

If anyone sees what I am doing wrong, please let me know.
Thanks very much.

Hello, I noticed you had not put a tracking URL in your embed script on the
page. Is this banner being tracked and if so, by whom?
If this banner is sitting on a page that you (or your client) serve and you do
not intend to track the clickthrus, there's no reason why you can't just
hard-code the landing URL in yourself and forget about the clickTag.

This is just a test post of the banner. It will be tracked when put on the
production site. Shouldn't the straight link also work as a test of the
clickTAG? It is just a simple GET, so it should work with any valid url string.

Well, it works on the production site with their embedded code so I obviously
am not doing something right in the HTML embedding on my test. There seems to
be a significant gap in my understanding of this process.

Kjup #5 Re: clickTAG not working
Your issue is that you don't reference the url in your script call which draws
the swf file into the page. You've set it up properly on the noscript side it
seems based on the source code that I looked at, but you need to add that same
function to your movie param setting in the script reference e.g. 'movie',
'SlowTwitchBanner1?clickTAG=http://www.tribiketransport.com/registration.html',
I've setup a test for you to confirm that this does indeed work here:

Good luck with your campaign.
Best,
Kjup
