Motif Ad Kit

Question

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.

Answer 1

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!
