This Action Script code will execute a Leadbolt html banner at the bottom of the screen. You also need to create a html page with the Java Script banner link provided by Leadbolt.

Hi,

I had the same problem, but with MJD1981's id the event fired successfully (btw thanks for sharing your code !). So I think this is due to LeadBolt platform, not AIR.

Then I tweaked some parameters of my HTML banner in my own LeadBolt console, set ad format from 'Text and banner Ads' to 'Text Ads only' and then, guess what, the locationChangeEvent.LocationChange fired successfully... I set back this parameter to 'Text and banner Ads' again and the event still fire (so far).

As a result it works perfectly (open Chrome with the expected URL on my Nexus 7 2013, AIR 4.0.0.1390, Android 4.3)

I recall I had to keep "LocationChangeEvent" in check with a couple of variables of my own (basically I check whether it has fully loaded or not before I look for clicks). Here is my personalized code, which I have been successfully using for the past 6 months:

//CREATE AD

function ShowAd(startX:int,startY:int,bannerWidth:int,bannerHeight:int):void {

  adWindow = new StageWebView();

  adWindow.stage = this.stage;

  adWindow.viewPort = new Rectangle(startX,startY,bannerWidth,bannerHeight);

  adURL= *YOUR URL*

  adWindow.loadURL(adURL);

  adLoaded=0;

  adWindow.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,LoadedAd);

  adWindow.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGING,UpdateAd);

  adShowing=1, adTim=0;

  adLinked=0;

}

//successfully loaded

function LoadedAd(event:Event):void{

  adLoaded=1;

}

//acknowledge interaction

function UpdateAd(event:LocationChangeEvent):void {

  trace("Location changing...");

  if (adLoaded>0 && event.location!=adURL && adLinked==0) {

    trace("Navigating to "+event.location);

    navigateToURL( new URLRequest(event.location) );

    adClicked=1, adLinked=1;

    RemoveAd();

  }

}

//remove ad

function RemoveAd():void {

          trace("Removing ad");

          adWindow.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,LoadedAd);

     adWindow.removeEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGING,UpdateAd);

          adWindow.dispose();

          adShowing=0;

}
