Please contribute if you have some useful info.

PlacePlay just announced they are going out of business so I need to replace them ASAP I am already running iAd and AdMob extensions but would like to have more options. Are there any other networks/extensions available to AIR developers other than those two. If you are using a different network how do you like it and how simple is it to implement?

I recently began using Burstly SDK. You can find the ANE on github. And from Burstly, im getting the ads from iAd, Admob and Millenial Media, as well as house ads. Implementing it was as easier than Id ever thought.

Thanks Skogemann I saw ads running in your app and they looks nice I am a bit confused by the process. I just signed up for Burstly and still awaiting activation so some of it might make more sense when I can get into their portal but here is all the code provided on gitHub.

```actionscript
// Initialize Burstly
Burstly.getInstance().setAppId("MY_BURSTLY_APP_ID");
Burstly.getInstance().setBannerZoneId("MY_BURSTLY_BANNER_ZONE_ID");
Burstly.getInstance().setInterstitialZoneId("MY_BURSTLY_INTERSTITIAL_ZONE_ID");

// Show the banner
Burstly.getInstance().showBanner();

// Hide the banner
Burstly.getInstance().hideBanner();

// Check if an interstitial is pre-cached
Burstly.getInstance().isInterstitialPreCached();

// Show the interstitial
Burstly.getInstance().showInterstitial();
```

Seems fairly straightfowrard but I am confused by the "MY_BURSTLY_APP_ID" "MY_BURSTLY_BANNER_ZONE_ID" "MY_BURSTLY_INTERSTITIAL_ZONE_ID" blanks, where do I acquire those?

Also there seems to be no line importing the extension into the app import com.... does that need to be added and lastly the Burstly website says they implement several ad networks does this mean you have to sign up with all of them individually? How can  you track your results, eCPMs, impressions all that and how is the payout schedule. Being burned by PlacePlay I want to be sure I know more before I commit, hope you can answer some of that, if possible please post your AS3 code of how you implemented this extension.

Is there better documentation available somewhere?

import com.freshplanet.ane.AirBurstly.Burstly;

The ID's youll find in burstlys dashboard. Yes you will have to sign up to 3rd party networks individually. Payment schedule also follows the 3rd partys policy. Burstly is really great, and Ill recommend reading more from their website, instead of getting intel from me, as I am not a professional in their services.
