Flash Ad Units
• Flash files served via DART must be coded properly for proper click and impression tracking.
• All Flash files must be submitted as a .SWF file with accompanying back up gif/jpg for display to users who do not accept Flash.
• A click thru URL and Default image must also be supplied for each .SWF ad unit.

Below are detailed instructions for SWF file coding for DART AD Serving:

  1. Create an invisible button over the area that you want 'active/clickable' to users
  2. On that invisible button, put the following action:
    on (release) {getURL(_level0.clickTag, "_blank");}
  3. Export the swf and test by opening the swf and clicking on the intended 'active' area. If a new browser or Explorer window opens upon click, the ad has been coded correctly for DART tracking. The ad must spawn a new browser window.
HTML units: The HTML for the ad should not require a space larger than the maximum allowed pixel ad size. <HTML>, <HEAD>, <BODY>, <br>, or <p>, hard breaks (carriage returns) or alignment tags should not be included. All white spaces must be eliminated. Please remember to use a CLOSE FORM tag when using forms in .html (i.e., </form>)
