Animate HTML banner ad not working in CM360

Report · Dec 06, 2022

I created an HTML ad using Animate.

I edited my HTML file and added the META tag and click tag.

I uploaded a Display Ad to CM360 and it will not click out or get the click icon when hovering over it.

I know it has to do with something in the code but can not figure out what.. I have over 50 ads I need to do.

Can someone please look at the code and let me know what it is I'm doing wrong or if there is a publishing template I can use for google?

The zipped file I uploaded to CM360 is below.

Here is the HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

var clickTag = "http://www.google.com"; </script>

</head>

<title>Customers_Different_A_160x600</title>

var canvas, stage, exportRoot, anim_container, dom_overlay_container, fnStartAnimation;

function init() {

canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");

anim_container = document.getElementById("animation_container");

dom_overlay_container = document.getElementById("dom_overlay_container");

var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("51FCF304346543E3AC03FD25FF9AB609");

var lib=comp.getLibrary();

var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);

loader.addEventListener("fileload", function(evt){handleFileLoad(evt,comp)});

loader.addEventListener("complete", function(evt){handleComplete(evt,comp)});

var lib=comp.getLibrary();

loader.loadManifest(lib.properties.manifest);

}

function handleFileLoad(evt, comp) {

var images=comp.getImages();

if (evt && (evt.item.type == "image")) { images[evt.item.id] = evt.result; }

}

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 lib=comp.getLibrary();

var ss=comp.getSpriteSheet();

var queue = evt.target;

var ssMetadata = lib.ssMetadata;

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

ss[ssMetadata[i].name] = new createjs.SpriteSheet( {"images": [queue.getResult(ssMetadata[i].name)], "frames": ssMetadata[i].frames} )

}

exportRoot = new lib.Customers_Different_A_160x600();

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();

}

I'm no expert but this is what I have to add to make mine work. I didn't look over all your code, so maybe something eles is causing your issue. Try this. Add a style for your pointer icon:

<style>

#animation_container {

position: absolute;

margin: auto;

left: 0;

right: 0;

top: 0;

bottom: 0;

cursor: pointer;

}

</style>

and this code inside of the canvas tag:

onclick="javascript:window.open(window.clickTag)"

;

... It also appears you have two closing head tags, try deleting the first one just below your script tag up near the top and just leave the </head> tag seen just below

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
