Hi,

I would like to integrate expanding flash banners using the technique highlighted at http://www.expandablebanners.com/ into my Drupal site running the ad module.

From their website
When you rollover or click the banner whichever you choose, a new DHTML layer appears with the new expanded banner showing. When you Rolloff or click a close button, the DHTML layer disappears and reveals the original banner. You may also set a timer (in the flash file) allowing for a smooth closing transition.

Would anyone else be interested in this feature and would anyone be willing to implement it?

Thanks
Gregg

Thanks Alex, the system is working well still and we have had lots of positive comments around the expanding banners.

I wanted to confirm that you received payment for the job from Paul?

Thanks again, was great working with you. If anyone would like to see the result check

Refresh until you see the design fights banner. Rollover to launch a character and hit him with the fist until he dies and a new character laiunches

Hi Alex

I know they have been extremely busy with trying to get the game online and I think they are aiming to have that done this morning.

I am sure payment will follow shortly as they wrap up the job after getting it live. I will e-mail Paul this morning and try and get an exact day you can expect the payment to be made.

Sorry for the delay but please dont be too concerned as I will make sure you receive your money for a job well done.

Thanks
Gregg

Hey guys,

I installed the dev version of the Ad Flash module, which I'm gathering should contain this updated ability to do expandable flash banners.
I'm not seeing how to enable this capability. Can anyone show me how to implement them within the system?

I tried the URL posted, but it no longer exists.

Thanks in advance..

The dev version of Ad Flash doesn't contain this kind of functionality. I did this on request for iaminawe but i never got a chance to release it. I'll try to find that version and maybe i'll commit in the next weeks.

Thanks for your interest

Uhh...to be honest i've never looked onto 5.x version of Ad flash (since i've been a co-maintainer of this module) but i guess there's a time for everything.
I might help you do it if you come up with a list of functionalities you want to see implemented so i can give you an estimate.

Your english is as good as mine :) so i'm pretty sure we'll understand eachother.
And btw there's a nice website you have there (especially for 5.x).

Just let this thread as 6.x-dev for now.

Hmm..
Thank you for compliment) It was unexpected and very pleasing to me))

About Ad.. I don't know what "list of functionalities" may be possible))
Yesterday we were asked by ad agency -
" - does the site accept expandable banners
- Can the banner auto expand without user initiation (or can it at least auto run 1x per user per day)?
- Can the banner be expanded twice its size horizontally
- Maximum time the banner can be expanded (How many seconds?)"

And I had felt myself .. bad)
I don't know how flash works (expandable banners particulary) and so I don't know what needs to do.
So I sent request to agency for sample and now is waiting for it))
After that I found this discussion and have understand that obviously something needs to be done for it with Ad module))
But I don't know what is it)))

Thank you for response
Alexey

Do you want it to expand on mouse over or on click ? Or just to autoexpand and autocollapse itself ? Or do you want all of those :)
