PH: 925.943.1111 / FAX: 925.943.1045 / 2520 Camino Diablo / Walnut Creek / CA / 94597
REVISED 9/24/18Creating an SWF Creative File for Use in Open AdStream (OAS)
These instructions are intended for Flash Versions 7, 8, and 9 using ActionScript 2.0. ActionScript 3.0 is not
recommended; currently, pop-up blockers only allow the ‘onRelease’ command. Unfortunately, this command
has been removed in ActionScript 3.0.
Setup Steps:
1. A clickable flash object such as a button or “hitarea” in the flash movie clip will require some actionscript
attached to it.
2. Associate the "on(release)" event with that object.
3. The object will now listen for that particular event. When the event occurs it will trigger actionscript
instructions.
4. Place the click tag actionscript (listed below) as the instructions for the “on(release)” event.
For a Button Use:
on (release)
{
getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank");
}
Make sure to check off the "Expression" checkbox for the URL field that is the variable for the getURL
actionscript function.
Additional Notes:
1. If the whole file is meant to be clickable, a transparent button should be placed on the top layer of the SWF.
2. In order to track clicks within OAS, the SWF must not be setup with a hardcoded click URL.
Method of Delivery:
Direct files and questions to Victoria Lau at vlau@diablopubs.com. Provide third party tags in a text file.
Deadlines:
Camera-ready materials are due 1 week prior to live date. Late materials will be accommodated for the
remainder of the insertion. Alllow 1-2 days for posting depending on the insertion. Rush charges may occur to
accommodate late materials.
*Important: We do not accept Flash or 3rd party creatives that have been built using EBLoader JS or XMLHttpRequest as
these means affect end user experience. We recommend Google Web Designer for Flash or HTML5 files.
All campaigns will be confirmed after receipt and inspection of provided materials. Requests for complex analytics
programs to be billed additional and quoted upon evaluation of the request.
