In order for realsimple.com to properly track and report clicks with site served flash ads, please ensure all ads have the clickTag properly implemented. Adobe/Macromedia currently recommends a "clickTag" method to track clicks for flash ads. This method uses variables to pass the click tracking string and URL into the Flash creative movies. As a result, the only text in the URL box is _level0.clickTag (underscore level ZERO period clickTag). _level0. (underscore level zero period) is included for "pathing" purposes to ensure that Flash can properly locate the variable.

• Transparent Button object layered on top of clickable area
• Button clickthrough URL: _level0.clickTag (underscore level ZERO period clickTag)
• Target window is set to "_blank"
• Variables is set to "Don't send"
• Active Clickthrough URLs must accompany submission of flash files in .txt/.xls file

Here is what the coding will look like when you are done:

	on (release)						
	{	 						
	getURL(_level0.clickTag, "_blank");						
	}
	

For flash files with multiple clickable areas, we accept multiple clickTags as follows:

• clickTag (clickable area A)

	on (release)						
	{ 						
	getURL(_level0.clickTag, "_blank");						
	}
	

• clickTag (clickable area B)

	on (release)						
	{ 						
	getURL(_level0.clickTag1, "_blank");						
	}
	

• clickTag (clickable area C)

	on (release)						
	{ 						
	getURL(_level0.clickTag2, "_blank");						
	}
