1. Uncheck Combine into spritesheets in Publish Settings because JSON file which will be created is not allowed.


2. Uncheck Hosted Libraries in Publish Settings in Advance tab because CreateJS library must be included in ZIP (Zipped in ZIP is only 48 KB).
   If you need more space you can reference two libs and include other two libs


3. Include banner ad format size meta tag within the <head></head> tag in your index.html file.

UPDATE !!!

Adobe Animate HTML5 banner ad for Google AdWords

1. Uncheck Combine into spritesheets in Publish Settings because JSON file which will be created for spritesheets is not allowed.

2. In the <head> tag of your published index.html file replace default CreateJS library

https://code.createjs.com/createjs-2015.11.26.min.js with Google hosted CreateJS library

https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/createjs_2015.11.26_54e1c3722102182bb133912ad4442e19_min....

3. Include banner ad format size meta tag within the <head> tag in your index.html file.

For example: <meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250">

4. clickTag code:

Option 1:

HTML5 ads are, by default, clickable on the entire area of the ad.

Option 2:

If you wish to limit the clickable area to specific elements, you will need to include the exitapi.js script.

To use exitapi.js, include the following script in your HTML <head> tag:

<script src="https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/pagead/gadgets/html5/api/exitapi.js"></script>

In Animate create transparent button and give the name of instance e.g. cta

Then, open Actions and place code:

this.cta.on("click", function() {

  ExitApi.exit();

});

5. ZIP file (Adobe Animate HTML5 banner ad) must be 150 KB or smaller.

6. Check Adobe Animate HTML5 banner ad (ZIP file) in Google AdWords validator: AdWords | HTML5 Validator

https://h5validator.appspot.com/adwords

Can you or someone please explain what this means?

2. In the <head> tag of your published index.html file replace default CreateJS library

https://code.createjs.com/createjs-2015.11.26.min.js with Google hosted CreateJS library

https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/createjs_2015.11.26_54e1c3722102182bb133912ad44 42e19_min...

I can't figure out what I need to replace with what. Here is my HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="authoring-tool" content="$VERSION">

<title>$TITLE</title>

<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250">

$CENTER_STYLE

$CREATEJS_LIBRARY_SCRIPTS

$ANIMATE_CC_SCRIPTS

$SCRIPT_START

var canvas, stage, exportRoot;

function init() {

  canvas = document.getElementById("$CANVAS_ID");

  $CREATE_LOADER

  $LOAD_MANIFEST

}

$HANDLE_FILE_LOAD_START

  $HANDLE_FILE_LOAD_BODY

$HANDLE_FILE_LOAD_END

$HANDLE_COMPLETE_START

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

  $CREATE_STAGE

  //Registers the "tick" event listener.

  $START_ANIMATION   

  //Code to support hidpi screens and responsive scaling.

  $RESP_HIDPI

$HANDLE_COMPLETE_END

$PLAYSOUND

$SCRIPT_END

<!-- write your code here -->

</head>

<body onload="init();" style="margin:0px;">

  <canvas id="$CANVAS_ID" width="$WT" height="$HT" style="display: $CANVAS_DISP; background-color:$BG"></canvas>

    $PRELOADER_DIV

</body>

</html>

Thanks in advance!

It's great that you're utilizing templates.  Simply replace

$CREATEJS_LIBRARY_SCRIPTS

with

<script src="https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/createjs_2015.11.26_54e1c3722102182bb133912ad4442e19_min...."></script>

Thank you just.emma​! One more question - my image files are too big once published. I end up with a zip file of 184KB. Do you have any suggestions on how to reduce this?

Personally, I like to use TinyPNG to optimize my images.

You can swap out your published images with optimized versions; just be sure that the file name and dimensions are the same as your original files.

Also, be sure to go to Publish Settings and uncheck "Export Image Assets" so as not to overwrite your optimized images if you go back and make changes in Animate.

Seems that these links are broken.  I'm getting a "Not found" message when the new browser tab opens.  Is anyone else finding this to be true?

I didn't use the exit api and yet created an entire clickable zone in Animate to refer to an external link. In google ads, the ads is not clickable ! But it is when preview in browser localy. I published without libraries, removed the libs folder, and changed 2 lines in the html to this :

<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=600">

<script src="https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/createjs_2019.11.15_min.js"></script>

No error in html5 google Ads validator.

What did I missed? Thanks in advance!

It looks like you are having issues due to the cache-busting variable that's generated when you preview a HTML5 Canvas document from Animate (by pressing Command + Enter on a Mac, or Control + Enter on a PC).

If you actually publish your banner, the question mark and those numbers will not appear in your HTML file.

To publish from Animate, just go to File > Publish.
