How to add ClickTag without coding

Report · May 13, 2024

Hi. I'm making html5 banners in Animate.
To make a clickTag I usually embed a code in the html-file.
Is there a way to make a clicktag like back in the Flash-days with a invisble button and ActionScript?
So I don't have to write any html-code but can keep everything in Animate.

I use this code:

<head>
<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250">
<script type="text/javascript">
var clickTag = "http://www.google.com"; </script>
</head>

<a href="javascript&colon;window.open(window.clickTag)">
<img src="images/dclk.png" border=0>
</a>

OK. Thanks.

Just to make sure: do you add this code to a publish template currently?

Yes. I make my banner in animate. Publish it and then open the html and embed the code. And I want to avoid that. If possible I want to stay in Animate to embed a clicktag code.

Thanks for the info.

You can avoid the workaround of editing the published HTML by using a publish template.
