clickTAG for actionscript 3.0

Friday, January 16th, 2009

If you are looking to get clickTAG to work for actionscript 3.0 in your flash ad, you have come to the right place. Being that I had to put forth more google efforts than normal to find a simple solution, I figured I’d post my findings to make it easier for others.

Actionscript 3.0 clickTAG

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, tracker);
function tracker(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(request, “_blank”);
}

And might as well put up Actionscript 2.0 clickTAG code:

on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == “http:”) {
getURL(clickTAG, target=”_blank”);
}
}

Something to be aware of, the clickTAG reference may have different case. Some clicktag, clickTag, or in my case clickTAG.
