Technical specifications for Flash creatives
Please email your .swf Flash creative to monique[at]mandy.com.
We have prepared a 160x600, 120x600, 728x90, 468x60 .fla template which has the correct clickTAG already in place. (ActionScript 2).
Note that your Flash creative must...
| 1) |
use ActionScript 2.0. (ActionScript 3.0 isn't currently compatible with Google DFP, the platform mandy.com uses to serve ads.)
|
| 2) |
contain the proper clickTAG implementation:
The clickTAG variable is an industry-standard method of tracking Flash creative clicks. To troubleshoot this implementation, make sure that the clickTAG variable is properly implemented in the Actions of the button. In the getURL() function of the action, make sure to specify the click-through URL as 'clickTAG' and the target window as "_blank". For example: getURL(clickTAG,"_blank");.
Here is Adobe's documentation for clickTAG implementation: www.adobe.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/designers_guide
HOWEVER note that Google DFP requires the extra phrase "_blank" inserted into Adobe's clickTAG example. Your Actionscript on the button should read:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG,"_blank");
}
}
I.E. do not embed the client's URL in your flash code; that is done by mandy.com staff on Google DFP.
|
| 3) |
be of maximum filesize 50kb. The larger your filesize, the fewer people will see your banner because some viewers may have left/scrolled down the page before your creative has had time to download.
|
| 4) |
not be the 120x60 size; these buttons down the right margins are the only spots where we do not permit animations.
