Motif Ad Kit

[katiekat80]

I have been tasked with creating expandable ads for my company. We will be
using Motif to track the data for us.
Here are some examples of the type of ads we want to build:

My problem is that I cannot open the tutorial files to learn how to make these
kinds of banners.

I can open the tutorial files in Flash CS3, but I cannot view the Motif Ad Kit
Panel.

On the other hand, I can open the panel in Flash MX 2004, but cannot open the
tutorial files here. I even had someone at DoubleClick save the files for me as
Flash MX 2004. They still do not work.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to learn how to build these types of
banners?

Here is where I have downloaded Ad Kit 3.0 as well as the tutorials.

Use Pointroll! Sorry but I've had MAJOR headaches with Motif in the past. We
stick with Pointroll whenever possible.

As far as the panel, did you install the component correctly? If so, it should
show up under Window>Other Panels.

I am not real familiar with any of this stuff. Would we have to have an account
with Pointroll?

Motif is giving me major headaches too!

I am not the best flash designer. Is there a way I could learn to build my own
expandable ad and provide it to the company doing our tracking?

[aniebel]

Well, when I used the Motif AdKit and supplied the files to Dart, they
disassembled the files anyway and reassembled them so I think you can create
your expandable ad yourself and ask them to do the functionality. The problem
is that I believe there is a charge for it, depending on who the end client is.
If Dart is making a lot of money off of the client, I believe they will waive
the fee.

Pointroll is easy to sign up with. The best thing to do is get in touch with
their support team and ask them the questions you have about setting up a file
and if they can support Dart or not. I seem to recall that they do but, of
course, Dart is their competitor so Dart may say that they are not compatible.
Both companies make their software free to the designer. It's the company who
is doing the advertising who pays.

Good luck!

Hi all

Am I the only person that has tried the Ad Kit and not been able to get it
working from the tutorial they provide.
I am trying to create an expanding banner.

Any assistance will be of great help thanks

Cheers

There is a post 7 items below this one that had problems with it. You may want to check that one out.

In Macromadia Flash MX 2004 we had Flash Ad kit in the list of templates when
creating a new ad file.
Where is the Flash Ad kit located in the Flash CS3 Pro?

Is somebody familiar with "Building and Deploying Rich Media Video Ads with
the Flash Ad Kits?

[aniebel]

If you are using Dart Motif, once you establish a login you can download their
particular ad kit. I may be wrong but I've found the Adobe Ad Kit helpful in
understanding the concept but it doesn't help when working with specific Rich
Media Providers as they all seem to have their own way of doing things. It's
best to download their particular ad kit and instruction manual and go from
there. I believe Motif has templates as well to download.

It should be in the instruction manual or just google it

[loudlizard]

Go to doubleclick.com and you can download the Flash Ad Kit plugin for whatever
version of flash you are using. I am using CS3 and there are no tutorials or
instructions on how to use it. I am new to using Rich Media and I am having a
hard time figuring it out for CS3. Can anyone help me find a tutorial for Dart
Motif for CS3?

[aniebel]

Did you register and obtain a login? If you login on the adkit page, there are
video tutorials on the link called "To learn more about what?s included in this
release, click here." downloads page. Also there's a link off to the left
that's called "Download Design Templates". I highly recommend you use these.
The component, in my opinion, is confusing.

Also, just save yourself a lot of headache and use Pointroll, if your project
allows for it.
