I don't want to take credit for this (i didn't make it) It was an unfinished work in progress provided to the community by "Jean S". You may want to clean it up a bit.

However it does pull an ad from smaato!

For test purpose, publisher ID and AdSpace ID is set to 0. You will eventually change this to your own ID after signing up with smaato.

Here is the source code:

I hate links like this, if someone can let me know a cleaner public place to upload it i will do so.

(Or am i just crazy and not seeing the attachment link on this forum?)

Accomplishing Admob ad-serving on Adobe AIR is my current official project at work!

I've seen the AdTest app as well. I have spoken on email with Nick Carr and Jean S. from the pre-release forums. I think they both work at carrsolutions.com from the AdTest app. I haven't gotten a hold of Jean recently and can't find her email. My understanding from Nick is that the page impressions are working now through Smaato, but Smaato requires >1Mio impressions and might shut down accounts who aren't meeting the quota.

I'll keep you up-to-date on the progress of my company's Admob ActionScript 3 code. We're also monitoring AdMob's blog. Really, it should be the ad network who provides the code free of charge, but if we can figure out how to code it properly, we can share/sell it with a select few! We'll work out the kinks on here!

I was waiting for these people to chime in from the pre-release, but so far i have'nt seen either of them.

In the air/android pre-release, someone ("Jean") had posted some code to work with smaato, another mobile ad provider. The last status posted was that it pulled and displayed the ads with as3, however the smaato account was not registering impressions, (the developer got no credit for the downloads). This person was waiting on a callback from smatto support, then the pre-release forum closed and that thread is gone.

Someone else("nick carr") who was testing the same code, posted an example on the market called "adtest" by carr solutions, perhaps you can check that in the market and email him to see if he ever got the impressions to work properly, or if he has Jeans contact info since Jean wrote it.

Also some other people reportedly were able to use Admob by using a proxy.

Your air for android app calls a php file on your own server, and php calls the ad from admob.
I haven't tried this at all, but it reportedly and worked perfect and is not difficult if you know php at all.

I know this doesnt help much yet, but this is what was going on in the pre-release hopefully we can bring this fprum up to date with this info.

so far it doesn't look like any of these people are showing up on these forums yet..

Does anyone know of any other ad providers that have an AS3 sdk?

I may be wrong, but i dont think this has anything to do with adobe. What we need is admob to provide API in as3.
