I have a flash banner that I've downloaded, and I wondering if there is anyway I can insert some embedded code to make it clickable. The .swf file itself doesn't seem to be clickable.

I'm trying to get it to work with OpenAds, so I uploaded the .swf and I put in the destination URL also.

Any ideas as to what the stupid thing I am doing

Thanks,
P

Hi Paul,
Try this, open the flash file .fla file. Create a new shape using the shape tool.

Make sure it covers the entire clickable area (Do all this on a new layer).

Select the shape and go to modify in the menu.

Convert to a button object.

You can then change its alpha setting in the lower tool area. Set it to 1% opacity so its see through.

With the (now button) object selected. Hit F9 or go to Actions in the menu.

Insert the following actionscript:

on (release) {
getURL(url, window="_blank");
}

Where URL = the target url.

I think it might need to be changed to "example . com" I use url as a variable for banner manager (might be the same for Open Ads) Can't remember, its been ages since I used it.

Thanks gav, sadly I don't have any flash editors available. It was more for an affiliate program that doesn't have an easy way to allow people to click it apparently. I think I will email the company and see what they expect people to do with these ads.
