The following article applies to the definition of standard click tags to be inserted into a Flash banner that will be used within Brand Central.

Click tags are simple action scrip code snippets that can be programmed in Macromedia Flash on a button or the main timeline. Brand Central works with standard code tags in order to pass customized click URLs from Flash to Brand Central in order to provide tracking.

Requirements:

  • Macromedia Flash authoring environment installed
  • Basic knowledge of HTML and Actionscript

Solution:

Create a button in Flash, define the hitarea and apply the following code (F9) in the action scrip window:

on(release) {
	getURL(ClickTAG);
}

Please note that “ClickTAG” is case sensitive and should not be spelled differently.
