Flash advert not clickable

Quick followup. If I enter the url from the clickTAG parameter ( i.e. http://mydomain.com/ad/redirect/6513/0?url=node/6505 ) directly into my browser address bar it redirects successfully to the correct external destination URL.

OK. This was a result of the infamous "clickTag" problem. This module is hardcoded to send the parameter as "clickTAG" but my advert was expecting "clickTag".

Changing line 605 in ad_flash.module to :

$output .= 'var flashvars = {clickTag:"'.$ad->redirect.'/@HOSTID___"};';

fixed the problem for me.

I'm sure you're right and your link supports your assertion. However I can see from the issue queue that others have fallen into this trap.

Perhaps it would be an idea to make it default to "clickTAG" but with the option of specifying something else ?

Thanks for the great module.

In fact even the Adobe doc you reference is inconsistent. It states use :

on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}

but the example dialog box image shows :

on (release) {
if (ClickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}
