Define background color in movie itself (sprite based) and not as a background color in movie parameters.

Our system strips out the stage color, leaving it transparent. Instead add in a colored image background.

Please note clickTAG has to have "TAG" capitalized.
You can have up to 6 links from a Flash ad, you just need to keep incrementing the number that follows clickTAG by one.
URL must NOT be embedded in the file.

If you are using Actionscript 1 or Actionscript 2:
Banner button needs to have this EXACT actionscript.

SINGLE CLICK-THRU

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

MULTIPLE CLICK-THRUS

on (release) {
   getURL (_level0.clickTAG,"_blank");
}

on (release) {
   getURL (_level0.clickTAG2,"_blank");
}

on (release) {
   getURL (_level0.clickTAG3,"_blank");
}

If you are using Actionscript 3:
Your button must have an instance name of “btn” for this code to work.

SINGLE CLICK-THRU

var url:String = "";
url = this.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onClick);

function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url), "_blank");
}

MULTIPLE CLICK-THRUS

var url:String = "";
var url2:String = "";
var url3:String = "";
url = this.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG;
url2 = this.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG2;
url3 = this.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG3;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onClick);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onClick2);
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onClick3);

function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url), "_blank");
}

function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url2), "_blank");
}

function onClick3(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url3), "_blank");
