If you are looking to get clickTAG to work for actionscript 3.0 in your flash ad, you have come to the right place. Being that I had to put forth more google efforts than normal to find a simple solution, I figured I’d post my findings to make it easier for others.

Actionscript 3.0 clickTAG

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, tracker);
function tracker(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(request, “_blank”);
}

And might as well put up Actionscript 2.0 clickTAG code:

on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == “http:”) {
getURL(clickTAG, target=”_blank”);
}
}

Something to be aware of, the clickTAG reference may have different case. Some clicktag, clickTag, or in my case clickTAG.

I have come to the realization that I need to completely restructure my programming methods; Less procedural, more object oriented. At this point, I believe I understand the concept and see how I need to adapt to this approach right now.

Currently I am reading Sitepoint’s “PHP Anthology” volumes 1 and 2. This book does a great job of helping break from my procedural thought patterns and get me to think more “object oriented”. It is also providing me a good brush up on the syntax and evolution of php as we are now at version 5.

Here is a nice tutorial I found giving some basics for objects and classes in php. There are some other really good tutorials to be found at this site.

So, back to studying..
