Description
The status for any flash ads in the ad module doesn't register any clicks, only impressions.

Is there any update on this issue?

I don't know how it would register clicks for Flash-based advertising, because the Flash ad is given a clickTag parameter by the web page, and the Flash file is responsible for firing the link. In order to track the clicks, it would have to redirect through the website itself. I'm not sure there is a way to do this, but suggestions are welcome.

It worked fine in the Drupal 5 version, as far as I remember.

Drupal is serving the link, however, so it does know when the link is used. The Flash file does not have any embedded URLs, so the website must have the ability to register the clicks.
#6
Oh, really? The Drupal 6 version of this module was a port from Drupal 5, so it might be that the Drupal 5 conversion of this part of the module never worked. I have very little time to work on the module right now, but if anyone would like to investigate and file a patch, it would be more than welcome.
