To add click tracking to your Flash banner, use the 2 Variables “clickTag” and “target” which are passed to the Flash banner via the OBJECT EMBED Tag.
Create a MovieClip with the InstanceName “content” and assign the following handler to the onRelease Event:
ActionScript 2 Code:
if (clickTAG.substr(0, 5) == "http:" || clickTAG.substr(0, 6) == "https:") {contentClip.onRelease = function() {getURL(clickTAG, target);
};
}
Or create a Button and put the following script to your Button:
ActionScript 1 Code:
on (release) {if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:"| | clickTAG.substr(0, 6) == "https:") {getURL(_root.clickTAG, _root.target);
}
}
Note: The ActionScript in this Flash banner is verifying that the clickTAG URL begins with "http:" or “https:”. This is an important security measure. If you do not take this precaution, a malicious HTML page could source your SWF and pass a clickTAG URL that begins with "javascript:" or another scripting pseudo-protocol. If your ActionScript code were to call getURL with a maliciously crafted JavaScript URL, it would be possible for the site serving the malicious HTML page to obtain the contents of your HTTP cookies or perform other actions on your site's behalf.
As an alternative to the plugin method, you can add the banner module with TypoScript to your template.Note: You can add multiple modules to the page to use different locations like left, right, top and bottom.
To add the banner module to your site template, create a marker in your HTML template: ###bannertop###.
Add this code to your main TS Template to substitute the marker with the plugin:
temp.bannertop < plugin.tx_macinabanners_pi1
temp.bannertop {# show banners with this attribute, default options are: "top, left, bottom, right", all Descriptions of Banner Categories can be used
placement = top
#mode to show banners. Options are: all, random
mode = all
# list of page IDs where the banners should be taken from (comma seperated. i.e.: 1,5,7)
pidList = 18
# levels of recursion to search for banners
recursive = 0
# Limit number of banners
results_at_a_time = 3
}
marks.bannertop < temp.bannertop
Example how to use the image configuration with GIFBUILDER:
temp.bannertop < plugin.tx_macinabanners_pi1
temp.bannertop {image { file = GIFBUILDER file { XY = 468,60 10 = IMAGE 10.file = field_image 10.file.maxW = 468 10.file.minW = 468 10.file.maxH = 60 10.file.minH = 60 10.altText = field_alttext10.align = c,c}}} Note: The Parameters: field_image and field_alttext are Placeholders for the actual “Bannerimage” and “Image Text” from the Banner Record.
