ok I have kind of a unique situation here (As far as I know). My job is to create banner ads for my company. Now, we deal with another company that takes these banners and sets them up on sites such as Monster.com, Careebuilder, Yahoo, etc.
This company requires that we put a special actionscript (Clicktag) code that resides on a button. This is all easy and has worked up until now. I have created a banner that’s a game imitating one of those crane machines where you drop in a quarter and you grab the toy you want and drop it in the hole.
On my game, I have a mouseover button action so that when you mouse over the area in question it will drag the Crane left and right. Now, I had trouble adding the click action to this button as well, so what I did was I added it to the crane MC as an OnClipEvent(mouseup);
After you click the MC the crane comes down, grabs a teddy bear, goes back up, then I set an actionscript to move to a certain coordinate.
None of this is a problem, the game works fine. My problem comes where we count clicks. We need to know accurately how many times the user clicks each banner. So I needed to set this up in a manner that the user would click only once and it would delay the redirection for around 4-6 seconds so that it could play through the animation.
Now I can’t attach the special code I need for this company. I tried attaching it to the OnClipEvent(mouseup); code and it didn’t work. I tried attaching it at the last frame of all animation and that didn’t work.
Apparently this has to be attached to a button of some sort.
Is there anything that anyone can think of that would solve my problem?
Thanks in advance!
