Flash "clickTag" Specs

In order for Time.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.

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

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

NOTE: clickTag is case sensitive
Hard coded clickthrough URLs will not be accepted



Newsletters

All Time Inc Digital properties which distribute newsletters adhere to the same general ad product specifications - although specific ad size may vary.

NOTE: 3rd party impression tracking pixels are not accepted for newsletters.
