clickTag and AS3 code c heck please

This is invalid code for AS3. Your code above is for AS2. The on method was deprecated in AS3 and a new event model replaced the old style of events.


// AS3 Code
// Assumes that clickTag is a URL to whatever page you want to go to...

var clickTag:String = " http://www.mysite.com/";

clickthrough_mc.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick );
clickthrough_mc.buttonMode = true;
function handleClick( e:MouseEvent ):void{
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( clickTag ) );
}

Set the publish settings to Actionscript 2 instead of 3.

Or ask for up to date documentation for actionscript 3, your client
should be able to provide it if it's there. I kind of doubt it will be
though, most banners don't need AS3 functionality, I suppose they won't
bother.

HTH,
