Dealing with ClickCommand of Flash
Flash ".swf" is constructed by Action scripts.There are certain funtions which are used to make flash clickable.They are
- FSCommand
- ClickTag
FSCommand:Few years back it was popular.Now that it results compatible issues with many browsers it is not widely used.And even many Ad servers does not support this Function
Syntax
" on (release) {
fscommand ("URL1", " ");
}"
ClickTag:This function is almost programmed in allmost all the Flash ".swf" creative units.Alike FSCommand this function enables the flash to be clickable
Syntax :
- For ".swf" Upto Version6
on (release)
{
getURL (clickTag, "_blank");
}
(or)
on (release)
{ getURL (_level0.clickTag, "_blank");
}
- For ".swf" Above Version6
{
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
(or)
on (release)
{ getURL (_level0.clickTAG, "_blank");
}
Traffickers please ensure you do not use ".swf" which has embedded URL unitl explicitly requested by the client.The embedded URL would have the syntax similar to the one below
on (release)
{
getURL ("http://www.rajaramachandran.blogspot.com", "_blank");
}
We do not use ".swf" which has URL embedded becasue this wouldn't allow Ad server to record clicks, as the landing page would be triggered from ".swf" part and no request would be made to the Ad server .
Note:Traffickers please note, I would recommend to use "Action script" viewer to check flash before uploading on Ad servers.Lots of Action script viewer is available on the Internet.

Hi All
The flash file's click tag can be modified by a s/w called"Action Script Editor".Also Raja mentioned that the files with embedded urls should not be used,but those files can be editted using this software and used for trafficking.
Thanks,
Raji
Great piece of info raji
Much appreciated
I tried the software, it was nice.
By this, one can edit ".swf" file even without having ".fla" file.
So whoever receives incorrect clicktag, no more waiting for the revised ".swf"/working with ".fla" with macromedia.Just open this simple software, edit and you are done :-)
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
