Flash Ads

Flash adverts are a great way to captivate visitors. Please read this guide carefully to ensure you get the maximum return from your adverts.

Linking your advert

You must ensure that your advert references the 'trackLink' variable as the link through to your website, otherwise affiliates commission will not be tracked. Failure to ensure this can lead to account suspension.

AS2 Example

on (release) {
    getURL(_root.trackLink, "_blank");
   }
