Flash Advertising
I have been trying to figure out how to make more engaging "peel/pop out" ads.

For example, a 300x250 flash ad that is embedded in an editorial article. If you were to roll the mouse over the ad, a "slider" menu would roll out over the website content to present more engaging content.

I have looked hard for tutorials or forum threads on how to acomplish this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or advise?

Best,
Kevin

Advertising In Flash Movie
Hi, I was wondering if there a clear way to make affiliate advertising money by incorporating such ads in an all Flash site. Will Google allow Adsense ads, for example, in an all Flash site. Will other refferal links work the same. I don't have anything to sell but would like to make money if my site gets some traffic. Any suggestions, links, etc would be appreciated. Thanks.

Advertising Banners In Standalone Flash Apps.
I am planning to distribute a flash application i have built as a standalone movie.

Ideally I would like some kind of banner advert solution in it.

Has anyone ever done anything like this, if so whats the best way to go about it? Im thinking of having a standard banner embedded in the movie which loads if there is no internet connection present, otherwise an external movie of my choosing is loaded.

Has anyone done this with Commission Junction banners?

I am open to ideas.....................

Banner Advertising
Hi,

I need some help with making a flash banner(s), that get/work around the file size restrictions that you get from some web sites. (15kb-20kb).

I have thought that I could make a "Holder" movie that calls the "Real" movie in to it, but when I have tried this I am finding that some people don't see the real movie, but just an empty holder movie. I guess this has something to do with security settings of some sort, but I don't know how to change this so that I can guarantee that everyone can view the banner.

How do you get / work around this problem. Or is there a best way to make flash banners that any one can point me at?

Thanks

Advertising Video Clip
Hello, my name is Isaac.
I haven't posted here before, I don't think.
I'll jump right into it:
A web site which I am creating was given free ad space. My web site is about gaming. In March there will be a magazine competely on DVD based on gaming and the manager, through my staff member, had given my web site free advertising time on it. I could do anything from report on some news or just make a video fooling around. As an amateur webmaster I have never done a video before. I have access to a video camera if I need to do a report, but what about the graphics, the flashy introduction, and whatnot? I don't have much experience in this and I don't know much about Flash.
Someone told me that Movies could be done in Flash so I came here. The magazine will manufacture its first DVDs for its subscribers beginning March. I have to get the video done by the end of mid february. Is there anyone that has experience in this that could tell me where to start? I have a lot of free time on my hands and a budget so nothing is impossible.

Flash Clicks
I'm currently finishing a new website in Flash MX 2004 Pro. And now my client wants to be able to track what buttons/movieclips where clicked. Is it possible to write a function using a listener that checks every mousePress to see what movieclip was clicked and send that name to a PHP script to add one up? The PHP script I can write. But I'm wondering how to write the function(s) to register the clicks in Flash.

Advertising Banner W Random Adds On Refresh
I was given the assignment of making a flash file that pulls up random swfs using loadMovie into that one file, so that everytime you load the site, you see a random, and yet new, Flash add. Could anyone give me some insight on how to do that? I'm just an amature, and I have no idea of how to do that.

Thank you so much.

Tracking Flash Clicks
Hi

I've a client who has had a promotional site built by a design team to promote a product. The site was intended to capture data of what people where looking at on the site, 'what they were interested in', 'where the product had come from' etc etc.

if they had built the site in html then they could've tracked the html pages from on server, but as the site was built as one whole flash file, they have been unable to see what area the users where looking at.

So, is there a way, if I was to build a site purely in flash to track the usage of pages etc?

Many thanks

Flash Tracking Clicks
Ok, I've been looking for hours on this one. Can't seem to find how to track clicks in flash??? I've found plenty of third party type stuff, but we can't use that, nore can we use any php. So what I thought would be simple, would be to have flash talk to a .txt and simply count the number of clicks. Has anyone done this? Can someone show me an example?

Thanks

Handle All Clicks From Flash
Hi,

I'm looking for a flash that will load other movies (.swf on the same site)
but I want to make sure I control the clicks by myself.

let's say I have container.swf that loads sub.swf,

I don't have the source code of sub.swf,

I want all clicks to go to counter.php (even if there are other buttons in sub.swf)

loadMovie(...) and
_root.onMouseDown=function(){
//_root is a reference to the main timeline
getURL("...")

but here is the thing, if there's a button in the sub movie, it still goes to the button location ...

any idea ?

thanks in advance

Counting Clicks In Flash
Can anyone tell me how I can count the number of clicks that people have made on a link in a flash movie. Not just the number of clicks one person makes within the movie but the number of clicks everyone has made...
am I making sense here?

I'm guessing I'm going to need to use php or some server side stuff, so if anyone could point me to a good tutorial?

Thanks.

[An Idea] Allow Right Clicks For Flash
I was looking through my archives and I did a little CSS trick before to disable right clicks for Flash. It's basically putting a layer on top of the Flash so the Flash can't receive right clicks to make that menu.

But then I thought again, technically it would be possible to let Javascript handle right clicks and pass it onto Flash right? Then both left and right clicks become available for a flash movie. This would be especially useful for games involving the mouse.

Tracking Clicks On A Flash Movie
Hi All,

My company is creating a series of Flash emails using the sattionary feature in Outlook and Outlook express. These are HTML pages with the Flash movie residing on a server.

Users must click a button in order to play the animation. My question is:

How do you track that click?

I know there must be some simple script somewhere and I probably have to keep a database.... I have been looking but I can't find anything simple enough.

All I want is to count the number of times this Flash piece has been played.... Thats it

thanks

Views & Clicks In FLASH Banner (how To?)
Hi to all !

I have one problem. I am making a flash banner for our club to put to a variety of advertisers. They all offer a statistic of clickthroughs & views ...but ... I just want to insert some action script to log this info to. ... just to compare their statistics & ours.

Banner will be on their server so I have to call my server for some action.

I want to call some php on our page to add count to views when banner is loaded. Same for clicks (some action for "on mouse click"...)

I thought that this is the best place to ask for help.

How to implement & which script to log clicks & views of a flash banner on a remote server ?

Thanks in advance.

Send Mouse Clicks Through FLASH APP
We are using Zinc 2.5 and have a transparent project. We want to forward mouse clicks that happen in various areas of the flash control to the application underneath. When it floats on the desktop, we want people to click through the flash application in certain places and, for instance, activate an icon on their desktop.

How do we do this?

Tracking Clicks Within Flash Movies

How To Track Clicks With Code In Flash CS3
Hi,

I am very confused. I have created a flash banner using Flash CS3. I have been told by the website master to add the following code to my advert so they can track how many clicks my advert is getting.

This is the message they sent me back.

Unfortunately the click tag for the Flash script is still incorrect as it needs to have:

on (release) {
getURL (clickTag, "_blank");
}

I pasted this code into my flash document using AS1 & 2. On an invisble box which covers the whole of my advert on layer 1.

Am I missing something? Also very new to this Flash business!

Best way? Writing to a txt file? Please help me

How To Keep Track Of Clicks/hits In Flash
I work for a newspaper and have been trying to get us to swtich to Flash photo gallery templates.

They don't want to switch because right now everytime a user clicks through to the next photo it counts as a hit. If we switched to Flash we would only get one hit for each gallery.

Does anyone have experience with something like this?

Two Clicks From Just One - Changing HTML & Flash From A Single Click
Hey Folks:

I have an HTML page with a Flash button that pops a window.

I want the HTML page to change when the user clicks the flash button and the window is popped.

I believe that this functionality would need to be contained in the flash button as that is what the user clicks on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Stop Flash Animation When User Clicks HTML Link
Hi there,

I have a page that contains an SWF. Beneath this SWF are a series of links that open new _blank windows that also contain their own SWFs. What I would like to do is stop the first SWF when a user clicks on a link so that we don't have two SWFs playing at once (as it could get a bit noisy!).

So basically something included in the link that can control the SWF using Javascript would be great. I found some code that looks something like this (see below) but doesn't appear to work.

HTML Code:
<a href='javascript:example.TStopPlay("_level0/InstanceNameOfMC")'>Stop First Movie</a>
Any advice much appreciated

Why 2 Clicks?
Hi everyone, I'm running into an interesting problem.
I want to resize an image, but there is a problem when the movie is run. It takes 2 clicks of the button, not just one, to aquire the dynamic image size.
here is the link to the movie:
http://www.athenianvp.com/gb/flash/holders-2click.swf
and here is the code:

on (release) {
holder.loadMovie("night.jpg");
oldWidth=getProperty(holder,_width);
oldHeight = getProperty(holder,_height);
d.text="HolderW= "+oldWidth +" HolderH= "+oldHeight;
w = mov1._width;
h = mov1._height;
w1=((oldWidth/w)*100);
h1=((oldHeight/h)*100);
d1.text="mov1.W= "+w+" mov1.H= "+h;
d3.text="w1= "+w1+" h1= "+h1;

does anyone know why it takes 2 clicks to get the values for oldWidth and oldHeight?? my only guess is that the image doesn't have time to load before the rest of the code is processed, but somehow i would figure that the software is smarter than me.

Thanks again,
