Counting clicks on flash banners Flash banner
clicks can be counted by using two techniques
Using ClickTAG
Using hardcoded links

• Using click tag
• To count the clicks on flash banners, we use
  a variable called ClickTAG to attain an
  industry standard.
• Once you have a flash banner which uses the
  ClickTAG, it would be simple for the revive ad
  server to count the clicks.
• While uploading the banner, ensure to define
  a destination URL in the properties of a banner.
  Revive ad server then instructs the flash banner
  to use the destination URL if it is delivered to
  the viewer.

Using ClickTAG

• Most importantly, if you want to change the
  destination URL, you can go and change in the
  banner properties.
• You can go for banner preview which will be
  shown after uploading a new banner and check
  whether it takes you to the URL you defined.
• The ClickTAG variable is case sensitive in
  some version of flash. Revive ad server tries to
  correct the case sensitivity but it will be
  always best if you place the right tag, this will
  helps to avoid the issues.
• Along with the ClickTAG variable, use the
  clickTARGET, if you fail to use that, then the
  flash file will use the default target variable
  and it also ignores when the revive ad server
  tries to tell about the alternative targets.

Usage of hard-coded links

• Revive ad server tries to count the clicks
  for flash banners with hard-coded URLs which is
  ActionScript links directly to a URL.
• This can be possible only with the banners
  stored locally (e.g. Local banner types) because
  it is necessary to edit the flash files directly.
  
• This doesnt support for the external banner
  type.
• If your banner uses a hard-coded link and
  revive ad server detects that then you will be
  presented a new screen after you submit the
  banner.
• This screen shown as the hardcoded link was
  detected and will ask you to confirm the
  overwriting of this hardcoded link and the values
  to use.

• If you like to alter the destination URL in
  the main banner properties, you can do that.
• If you are using a flash banner with multiple
  hard-coded URLs, revive ad server can able to
  rewrite these URLs with an alternate destination.
  
• Each click will be counted for the same
  banner ID, it is not by default which destination
  a user clicked on.
• If you upload a flash banner with multiple
  and different hardcoded URLs, the rewrite URLs
  screen will ask you for the multiple destination
  URLs to use automatically.
• Revive adserver might not able to overwrite
  the target if the flash banner doesnt define any
  target to use within its "ActionScript" call of
  "geturl".

• Advanced flash options
• If you upload the flash banner as a local web
  server, you may find some extra options which are
  available on the main banner properties after
  created the banner
• Transparency
• If you enable this option, revive ad server
  may deliver the flash banner with the wmode
  options enabled.
• This will facilitate if you want the empty
  space of the flash banner to be transparent and
  if you need any floating html elements to appear
  above the flash object.
• Backup image
• If suppose, a viewer does not have flash, you can
  upload a non-flash image which is compatible with
  your flash banner.
