Flash banners for IFCfeed

Flash banners supplied for use on IFCFeed.com need to contain 'click-thru' code so that our banner system can direct users to the appropriate site and log the click when they click the banner.

The code will vary depending on whether you're using ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0. Make sure you use the version appropriate to your flash movie.

Remember, you don't need to put your site's address into the code - we will dynamically set this when we incorporate the banner into the site. Simply use the code as shown below, remembering to change the button instance name to match the button instance in your movie.

ActionScript 3.0

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.url); myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, tracker); function tracker(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(request, "_blank"); }

ActionScript 2.0

This code must be placed on the timeline - not directly on the button.

myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){ getURL(url, "_blank"); };

Flash tips

If your banner has a white background, we'd strongly recommend putting a keyline border around your design.
