I'm trying to modify my flash creative so that its clickable but doesnt go to a URL. I've been told that it should clickable and then just go to a 404 page.

The destination URL will be set in the adserver. I'm using adshuffle. First time I've used flash creatives so any help would be appreciated.
 


You need to make a new button that is -100% opacity but needs to have a shape that fills the entire ad.

Then set the to

on (release){
this.stop();
getURL("page.html", "_blank");
}

then make sure its in its own layer and there the entire clip.

When you upload the ad to adshuffle it will replace the URL in the .SWF with a trackable link that redirects to the URL you set in the actionscript.

At least that's how OpenX works, I would think adshuffle works the same way.

Thanks

OK So I've created a rectangle over the whole movie, do I now convert it to a symbol of type button or something?
 
Si Señor > convert to button with all states filled.

place button over entire movie clip then "Right click on button > Actions" put in actions.

then go back to movie clip, click on button and in properties drop the Alpha down to 0% so its invisible.

Getting no where with this. I've put the code in the actions exported the movie to flash and it runs fine however when I click it does nothing.

I dont suppose you want to take a look for me do you?
 
lol I was doing this exact same thing last night. There is also a way to make the cursor turn to the link hand too, if you need that.
 
Edit the scripting for the transparent overlay you made, then add

myMc.useHandCursor = true;

with myMc being replaced by the name of the transparent overlay
