  • Create an action and select the event: On Release
  • Add getURL action and check the expression box to the right
  • Enter the following into the URL field:
  • clickTAG add “http:%2F%2Fadvertiserurl.com”

    The slashes (//) following http: in the URL must be escaped to "%2F%2F"

  • Replace “advertiserurl” with actual click-through URL
  • In Window field, enter: _blank
  • Publish as Flash 5

  • Create an action and select the event: On Release
  • Add getURL action and check the expression box to the right
