Error: "Relative Asset Check" when validating for Google Ads

[DesignWarlock]

Hello,

 
I've animated a banner (HTML5 Canvas) with Animate CC for Google Ads. When validating the zip file I get the error below. What does this mean and how do I fix it? Please help, Obi-Wan Kenobi....

Relative asset check

You can only reference files found in your uploaded .ZIP file, and the file listed above is not found there. To continue, remove any references in your HTML file to assets found outside of the .ZIP file.

The asset listed in the error message cannot be found in your .ZIP file. You will also need to remove any references to that file. The only allowed external references are the following:

• Google Fonts
• Google-hosted jQuery

More details:

• URL_FETCH_NOT_ALLOWED: https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js

Try to replace https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js with https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/createjs_2019.11.15_min.js

Hello, thanks for the reply. What exactly does that do? I ask because I'm typically not in the habit of using links with strange URL's without a little context.

Hey! You just fixed my problem but I have no idea why it worked or what that new address is that I put in. What miracle have I experienced here? Thanks!

It's the CreateJS library hosted on Google's servers. It's a requirement for HTML5 ads that these libraries be referenced from a Google hosted link to pass validation.

Hi, 
I don't have a code like this "https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js" please see attached image.

When I do this, the error is gone, but my banner breaks and displays nothing. Any thoughts on what when wrong?

[kglad]

use your developer console to find errors.

[johnk]

I tried that. Don't understand it. I got it to work by just including the createjs library in the zip package now that file limits are up to 200 KB.

Thanks, I'll check those out!

sooner or later, if you continue creating html apps/sites, you'll need to learn how to use the console.

This was educational, thanks! Unfortunately, the videos didn't help me figure out my issue, but a step in the right direction, nonetheless.

once the problem's resolved checking the console won't help.  it's the next problem when you'll use the console to debug.
