Adobe Animate and CM360

Does anyone know how to export a banner ad from Animate for CM360?

Do I need a publishing template?
Do I need to import any special settings for the clickthrough or action layers? - Do I even need to do this if I want the whole ad clickable?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, the html5 Animate outputs needs to be edited to make your ad Google complaint. This channel has several videos explaining how to make a banner ad from start to finish. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/xUKRZqubSF8

Couple notes:

Google's file size limit is 150 kb or less.
The whole ad will be clickable by default, no need for clickthrough actions for this.
To test if your ad meets Google specs use their html5 validator: https://h5validator.appspot.com/adwords/asset

Spoke to CM360 customer support.

I highlighted the code in red that you have to add to the stuff animate spits out below in case someone else has the same problem

<!DOCTYPE html>

1. All tokens are represented by '$' sign in the template.
2. You can write your code only wherever mentioned.
3. All occurrences of existing tokens will be replaced by their appropriate values.
4. Blank lines will be removed automatically.
5. Remove unnecessary comments before creating your template.

function handleComplete(evt,comp) {

//This function is always called, irrespective of the content. You can use the variable "stage" after it is created in token create_stage.

var ss=comp.getSpriteSheet();

for(i=0; i<ssMetadata.length; i++) {

}

exportRoot = new lib.Customers_Different_A_300x50();

stage = new lib.Stage(canvas);

//Registers the "tick" event listener.

fnStartAnimation = function() {

stage.addChild(exportRoot);

createjs.Ticker.framerate = lib.properties.fps;

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", stage);

}

//Code to support hidpi screens and responsive scaling.

AdobeAn.makeResponsive(false,'both',false,1,[canvas,anim_container,dom_overlay_container]);

AdobeAn.compositionLoaded(lib.properties.id);

fnStartAnimation();
