Description

Hello,

We use the ad flash on our site. We have a problem that the destination URL mentionned in the field doesn't work ( we get an http://mediplanet.be/nl/node/undefined). This is independent if the link is included in the swf file or not.

We need urgently a solution for this.

Kind regards,

Luc

I have this issue for some of the flash ads we use. We cannot track down what is causing it. If the SWF doesn't contain a URL link, then the Drupal ad link doesn't work at all it seems, and if the ad is a flash 'button' with a link, it goes to that link only for some ads. I want the drupal ad destination to override any flash ad links.

The problem here is that the flash banner has to be set up to accept a clickTag parameter. This is not something the module can do, so it relies on the flash banner being correctly constructed. It's a limitation of flash technology.

If there is a genuine problem with the module, if you could provide a way to reproduce it reliably, I'm sure a fix could be sorted.

Thanks for the tip. As long as they have the correct clickTag code, they work perfectly.

To anyone finding this thread, here is a great tutorial about the subject, and how to get this to work correctly:
