Steps to insert a clickTag in a Flash Banner with FlashMX 6 & Adobe CS3 Version

[Nawaz Shahzad]

Hi Folks

I am very new to this forum + having a basic level of understanding with Flash
Software (like Flash MX & Adobe CS3). By profession i am online trafficker, and
because of the fact that our Flash Creative Designer has gone on a leave, i
therefore stumble upon with a challenge of inserting a "clickTag" in a flash
banner.

Here my expertise stands null, but yeah offocurse i did try many options but
no result.

So guys help me in this, what i wish to know the exact step by step procedure
to insert a "clickTag" in a Flash banner for both Flash MX version 6 & Adobe
CS3 version.

I'll be happy if you guys come up with any step by step sitemap.

Thanks & Cheers
Nawaz Shahzad

Try that guide. The syntax will be the same for publishing in Flash 5,6,7,8 &
9. The only exception would be if you publish as Flash 9 AS3.

The guide uses clickTAG but you should doublecheck with the adserver you are
using because most actually use clickTag and Flash 7 and higher is case
sensitive.

Nawaz, make sure your hosting company will take a SWF published to anything
higher than Flash Player 7. In my experience, I have not yet seen a site that
will take anything higher. This means that in CS3, you'll have to change your
publish settings to AS2 and FP7.

Are Adobe trying to solve this problem? When are we having an update solving this problem - At your seminars you are telleing everybody that FP 9 have a market coverage of close to 100%

Right, well who could blame Adobe for saying that? It's not Adobe's fault. It's
that most of the hosting sites have cold feet (IMHO) and fear that they'll have
viewers who don't have the latest version which means their advertisers won't
get the most bang for their buck.

I keep waiting for them to at least increase the max allowable player version
to FP8... but I have not seen that yet... will keep my fingers crossed that it
happens soon. But what it boils down to is that you need to check with the
hosting site before designing a banner so that you don't include filters (FP8)
or use AS3 (FP9) if they are not supporting those players yet.
