There must also be controls to pause video play and mute the sound.

Audio (sound only) is also available in this unit. Audio play must be user-click-initiated and be

supplied as a WAV or MP3 at 100KB or below. There must also be controls to mute the audio.

Flash Coding Guide

• Flash ads must conform to all standard Bounty.com interactive ad specs and guidelines - including file size, animation, and content.

• All creative should be free of harmful applications including ActiveX, viruses, exit pops and other forms of malware. Creative coding should not use cross domain scripting or set cookies in unapproved domains.

• .SWF files must not contain any encrypted or hidden code, or hard coded URL’s. No files will be accepted that might contain any of these components.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: If a third party is serving the ad, please follow that vendor’s instructions for coding the Flash click through. All other aspects of the creative (i.e., file size, animation, etc.) must be in accordance with the applicable ad unit specs.

SWF Movie specs (for flash developers)

The movie should be made in the same manner as a Flash movie. Any animation or ActionScript used in normal development is applicable for SWF Movies. The main difference is in the click through (getURL) actions.

• Publish as flash version 7, 8 or 9 – with forward compatibility.

• Maximum 3 loops with a final stationary call to action.

• Frame Rate - Max 18 fps.

• Animation 15 seconds max. Animation on rollover is allowed, as long as the animation stops as soon as the user rolls off the ad.

• No external calls allowed. This includes, but is not limited to: child flash, RSS feeds, xml, and video.

• No hardcoded URLs. Use the variable _root.clickTag, with a target of “_blank“.

• Click through URL(s) must be submitted separately.

SWF Movie specs Action Scripting

getURL actions

• Click through URLs should not be included in the flash coding. The only text in the URL box is

‘_root.clickTag’ this allows the process to work with layered creatives, ensuring that Flash can properly locate the variable. The target window for the click through URL must be set to “_blank” so the click through will open in a new window per our requirements. Never leave the target statement undeclared.

Action Scripting Version 2

• If AS2 is used then please add the clickTag as below

on (release) {

getURL (clickTAG, “_blank”);

}

• As ‘clickTag’ is a variable, the text that is entered into the URL box is an expression. When the

movie plays, the expression will be evaluated and replaced with the click tracking and destination URL’s.

Action Scripting Version 3

• If AS3 is used then please add the clickTag as below. If you use the example below, change ‘Link_1’ to the instance name of your clickTAG button

Link_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event: MouseEvent): void {

var sURL: String;

if ((sURL = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG)) {

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sURL), “_blank”);

}

ImagesIt is recommended to use 60% text and 40% ration to improve the delivery of the email

CSSAll styles / CSS must be embedded within the HTML. External CSS not accepted.

No script to be suppliedMost email clients do not support any form of scripting (e.g. JavaScript, which might be used to make “rollover” images change) and those that do may be blocked by firewalls or anti-virus software.

No Frames to be suppliedFrames are used to set multiple HTML pages within a browser window. Email clients do not support this feature – especially in Hotmail, where the recipient will just see a jumble of pages.

No background tiling images to be suppliedNot all email clients support this – some, such as Hotmail, strip HTML emails out

of their original format and embed them within another HTML page. This action removes background tiling images. It is possible to use a background image, but this must be supplied as a background image to a TABLE, rather than the actual HTML document.

Plain Text

Text creationWord documents (.doc files) are not acceptable – please supply an ASCII text file (.txt).

FormattingNo changes in typeface, font size or attributes (e.g. bold/italic etc.) are possible in the text version.
