Expandable ads

I have only been working with Flash the past couple of
months. Needless to say, I am very wet behind the ears. I need to
create an expandable ad without the use of the Flash Ad Kit
software. I have been able to get the images to hide on rollout but
the problem is that the size of the document remains the smaller
size so that only part of the larger ad shows. Can anyone help?
Just for the record, as a designer I'm not a fan of
expandable ads but it is something the upper powers have asked me
to create.

Hey, thanks for the links! I saw Pointroll and Eyeblaster
before, but not Motif... I was checking the samples on Motif and
apparently it's not working too well with Safari or Firefox on the
Mac. Works OK on the PC but we need to cover a broader range of
platforms/browsers here.
I had an idea to basically set up the flash ad as a banner,
and have the bottom half be in a hidden layer that sits above
everything, and it's positioned directly under the flash banner.
You have an expand button or whatever in the add, and when you
click on that, it just makes that hidden layer visible. Anyone know
if that work work and what kind of actionscript I would need to
tell it to make the layers appear? I could even use the generic
dreamweaver show/hide layer script if that would make it easier....
any ideas?

  • I need to turn a print pdf into a web ad

    I have created pdf's for a print project.  I need to know how to convert the pdf's into web ads.  I have InDesign CC and Adobe Photoshop CS2.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    You'll probably be using still images or GIF animation for final ad; another option is Flash (SWF).  Digital ad agencies sometimes require multiple file versions for expandable ads - still image, collapsed state, expanded state. Per post above, Photoshop will be sufficient to create basic stills, if you're doing animated ads you might need to get someone to help you.

  • Motif Ad Kit

    I have been tasked with creating expandable ads for my
    company. We will be using Motif to track the data for us.
    Here are some examples of the type of ads we want to build:

    My problem is that I cannot open the tutorial files to learn
    how to make these kinds of banners.
    I can open the tutorial files in Flash CS3, but I cannot view
    the Motif Ad Kit Panel.
    On the other hand, I can open the panel in Flash MX 2004, but
    cannot open the tutorial files here. I even had someone at
    DoubleClick save the files for me as Flash MX 2004. They still do
    not work.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to learn how to build
    these types of banners?
    Here is where I have downloaded Ad Kit 3.0 as well as the
    tutorials.
    http://www.dartmotif.com/downloads/downloads.asp?login=req

    Well, when I used the Motif AdKit and supplied the files to
    Dart, they disassembled the files anyway and reassembled them so I
    think you can create your expandable ad yourself and ask them to do
    the functionality. The problem is that I believe there is a charge
    for it, depending on who the end client is. If Dart is making a lot
    of money off of the client, I believe they will waive the fee.
    Pointroll is easy to sign up with. The best thing to do is
    get in touch with their support team and ask them the questions you
    have about setting up a file and if they can support Dart or not. I
    seem to recall that they do but, of course, Dart is their
    competitor so Dart may say that they are not compatible. Both
    companies make their software free to the designer. It's the
    company who is doing the advertising who pays.
    Good luck!

  • Embedding expanding flash ads in existing web page.. help!

    Hi guys!
    I am having a problem and can't find a site anywhere that
    helps. My company have just started selling expanding flash ad
    spaces but I have no idea how to make these work on a current and
    very clunky site. The space on the page I have for skyscraper ads
    is 120px wide but obviously, flash ads that expand are much wider
    ((my current one is 240px wide) and need to expand over the rest of
    the content. Does anyone know of a site or can tell me what I have
    to do in my HTML and CSS to make these work?
    Thanks,
    Amy

    Flash by default goes to the top layer when you put it in a
    web page (an annoyance sometimes, but very convenient for this sort
    of thing). Just size your ad for the non-expanded skyscraper, and
    it should work.
    This may not be the package you are using, but if you go to
    dartmotif.com (a DoubleClick/Google site) and download their ad kit
    and some ads, you'll find some documentation that may answer other
    questions.

  • How can I get rid of promotional ads that are preventing me from expanding my email folders?

    Today for the first time, I am getting two promotion ads that regularly change, on the left side of my screen when I am in email, right where my expanded folders normally appear. I tried "expand" and just get a tiny line at the top of these ads with one or two expanded folders named. How can I get rid of these promotion ads?

    You can install the AdblockPlus add-on, and subscribe to a filter list.

  • How can I re move the ads located below my folders on my e-mail page?

    The ads did not appear when I used Windows XP. Now that I have Windows 8, I can't expand the space for my e-mail folders.

    Are you talking about adds in the web page? There is no way to turn them off?

  • ADS - 500 Internal Server Error

    Hi All
    I am trying to execute a simple WDJ program with an iteractive form view. The program gets successfully deployed but while running it gives the following error
    500 Internal Server Error
    Failed to process request. Please contact your system administrator.
    I am not getting any other error message. I tried switching off the "show friendly error message" in the internet options still nothing comes up. I have done the ADS configuration and looks good.
    Please help me on this issue to locate the log file which has complete error message.
    Thanks, Raj

    Hi,
    After opening the Log Viewer expand:C:
    EP7\JC00
    j2ee
    cluster
    server0
    log
    applications.log(here you will find the log) (sort the log by date).
    If you are not able to find in the above location then you can see the "defaultTrace.<number>.trc" file C:\usr\sap\EP7\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\log at this location to see the log. Open the latest defaultTrace file with notepad and search for your DC/Project where in you will get the error stack trace.

  • Expand Text Box? "Advanced" text options not hidden?

    The title text box/editor is very small in the 10.2 update.  It's just big enough for 2 lines of text.  I find it fairly inconvenient to have it so small (I am referring to the text box in the inspector).  I'm guessing there is no way to expand this to fit more lines of text in, but if anyone knows how that'd be sweet! Otherwise I'm just crossing my fingers it gets a quick update since I'm using it every day for work.
    Also, the "advanced" tab always being collapsed in the basic text editing tools is annoying, too.  I use this every time I make a title(which I'm making two videos a day, so it's a little more tedious now after the update).  Personally, for a professional program I would consider the options in the "advanced" section to actually be basic and fairly necessary...based on how I use it, so maybe I'm not a normal case.
    Nothing is broken, just less convenient...
    Thanks y'all!

    That is a wonderful idea if I could find where to do that (maybe another feedback will be to make finding the feedback area easier (: ). Where can I find the feedback area?  Thanks for the quick reply as well!

  • Expanding Text Options

    I'm putting together a photo book of old photos that I have scanned and need to include a lot of annotations. The formal theme I have been using doesn't seem to allow additional text to be added once you fill the text box frame. Is there any way to expand on this or maybe a better theme to use?

    In the book layout viewer there will be two buttons next to each other in the upper left corner if you hover your mouse over the one will say edit content, the other edit layout. Don't forget to switch back when you are done.

  • Report Performance / Grouptree - Show GroupTree Expanded

    Hi there....
    I'm using Visual Studio / C# for an ASP.net app.
    Requirements are to display customer-created reports placed by admin in virtual IIS directory. This is working fine.
    However, we are experiencing some performance problems on a certain report written against a stored procedure.  When I run the stored procedure interactively, it has subsecond response. Interactive design of report with Crystal 10 displays refresh very quickly. But web page is slow. Every click on grouptree causes the report to regenerate.
    Here are my questions
    1. For performance , Should I simply store data with report, and refresh data upon loading the reportdocument
    2. Are there other options that I can set that do not cause Crystal to refresh upon every keypress/search/ etc.
    3. Can I cause crViewer to display the Group tree as expanded (simliar to asp:treeview1.expandall()
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response Adam. In the time since I posted this thread, I have been able to exploit some of the features of the report document class, which is very nice in getting report parameters setting authentication etc.
    But the best I could do for my performance / postback issue was to simply use exportOptions to file pdf, excel..
      DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                ( ( DiskFileDestinationOptions )doc.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions ).DiskFileName = Server.MapPath(_rptPath)
                reportDoc.Export();
    Then, I simply redirect to the newly created pdf
    Can I use crViewer in conjunction with reportDcoument class?

  • How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

    Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
    I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
    Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
    the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
    displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
    Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
    several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
    time I saw it.
    Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
    I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Tom Graciano

    You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
    Does that return to the behavior you want?

  • Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

    I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
    I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

    If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
    No
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
    Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

  • Is there a way to expand all drop-down text in a single topic in the editor?

    I'm going through all the topics in a large RH10 project manually checking various things. A lot of topics contain drop-down text and to view the contents, I'm having to right click on each one and select 'Drop-down text properties'. Which is taking FOREVER. So:
    a) is there an option to expand all drop-down text in the current topic? I'm sure I remember this from a previous version but can't find it now.
    b) is there a keyboard shortcut to open drop-down text?
    Please say yes.

    a] Yes.
    b] No.
    There is nothing in Rh but there is a method on my site and on htttp://wvanweelden.eu The same scripts, just different explanations.
