ads in either iOS or Android

Report · Apr 22, 2011

Are there examples of any AIR apps in the market or app store that display ads of any kind?

There needs to be a (simple) way to display iAds, Adwords or similar in these apps.

I don't know of any usable solution at this time. However, there looks like there maybe an announcement at GoogleIO about this. This question has been raised within various public and private forums, so I know Adobe is aware of the need for a solution. But part of the problem is it relies on third companies to provide mobile/touch friendly ads.

I don't know about examples but I know many people that are already doing this. The answer is actually very simple.

1) go signup with admob

2) create an html page somewhere that can host the ad (preferably on a server you can control somewhere)

3) include a StageWebView component and call your html page into your app

4) profit.

This works perfectly and you'll be getting ad revenue very soon.

You will probably not get iAds in an Air for iOS app. You would need to install the iOS code from Apple into your Air app.

After a lot of trouble (account canned on ADMOB ) and research, I have gotten Ads to work in all my Android Apps. This will work on a lot of AD networks, but most will ban you click fraud. Only one network allows this method and they provide support for it too.

I have over 100 games apps. with this method implemented and working. Here is a link to one of them for you to see how it will look in game. I am using multiple ads in this to force the user to click and make me some money: https://market.android.com/details?id=air.GraffitiCityMarketFree&feature=search_result

Does LeadBolt offer HTML integration for banner ads?

LeadBolt does allow banner ads to be integrated into your app using HTML, rather than using our SDK. To create a HTML banner ad after adding an app to the LeadBolt portal, simply click “Add Ad” and select “App Banner (HTML)” from the drop down box. The HTML snippet can then be added directly into your app’s HTML framework.

So far my eCPM is $6.15

I have created this guide to show my appreciation:

Publisher Code:

STEP I:

Get an Account: http://leadboltapps.com/web/publishers/signup.php?ref=10022842

STEP II:

Click on the “APPS” tab and “Create New APP” to create an AD. Remember to change content unlocker to HTML Banner. While in the process.

STEP III:

Get the HTML AD Code and keep it safe. That is all we need from the site. How simple was that?

AD HTML FILE:

Create an HTML File and Load it to your site. Remember to replace your HTML Code from above step with where I have put: ****ENTER HTML AD CODE HERE****

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

body,td,th {

color: #FFF;

}

body {

background-color: #000;

margin-left: 0px;

margin-top: 0px;

margin-right: 0px;

margin-bottom: 0px;

text-align: center;

position: relative;

}

</style>

<body>

****ENTER HTML AD CODE HERE****

</body>

</html>

Action Script Code:

The only change you need to make is to enter your website html url where you have placed the AD HTML FILE in the space where I have put : "****ENTER COMPLETE HTML URL HERE****". Where ever you want the AD, place the following code:

// imports

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.events.LocationChangeEvent;

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

import flash.media.StageWebView;

import flash.net.navigateToURL;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

// setup variables

var _stageWebView:StageWebView;

var myAdvertURL:String = "****ENTER COMPLETE HTML URL HERE****";

//

{

// check that _stageWebView doersn't exist

if (! _stageWebView) {

_stageWebView = new StageWebView () ;

// set the size of the html 'window'

_stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0, 800, 100);

// add a listener for when the content of the StageWebView changes

_stageWebView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onLocationChange);

// start loading the URL;

_stageWebView.loadURL(myAdvertURL);

}

// show the ad by setting it's stage property;

_stageWebView.stage = stage;

}

function toggleAd(event:MouseEvent):void {

trace("toggling advert",_stageWebView);

// check that StageWebView instance exists

if (_stageWebView) {

trace("_stageWebView.stage:"+_stageWebView.stage);

if (_stageWebView.stage == null) {

//show the ad by setting the stage parameter

_stageWebView.stage = stage;

} else {

// hide the ad by nulling the stage parameter

_stageWebView.stage = null;

}

} else {

// ad StageWebView doesn't exist - show create it

}

function destroyAd(event:MouseEvent):void {

// check that the instace of StageWebView exists

if (_stageWebView) {

trace("removing advert");

// destroys the ad

_stageWebView.stage = null;

_stageWebView = null;

}

function onLocationChange(event:LocationChangeEvent):void {

// check that it's not our ad URL loading

if (_stageWebView.location != myAdvertURL) {

// destroy the ad as the user has kindly clicked on my ad

destroyAd(null);

// Launch a normal browser window with the captured URL;

navigateToURL( new URLRequest( event.location ) );

}

// setup button listeners

Hope this works and helps you. If you have questions, let me know. Enjoy.
