Lead Time for Standard Ad Units
10 business days
Additional Notes: 3rd Party Served Ad Units
The .swf needs to use the "clickTAG" expression for the URL call (see Flash Standards)
Due to a Macromedia recognized flash over flash interaction issue, Windows 2000 and NT users will not be displayed the ad. Floating ads are also not viewable on Macs.
Ad will only be viewable on IE 5.0 or above.
Creative is subject to review and approval 8 business days prior to launch. The-N will exclude these pages: homepage, main gateway pages, some hub pages. Also, specific page w/flash submission forms, polls, etc.
Only the visible elements of the ad are clickable, no transparent portions surrounding the ad.
Recommended: gray background added to always be present where the ad appears
Close Button: (several options)
a.) unload the main movie from the Flash player: unloadMovie(_root);
b.) have the time line go to an empty frame in the movie
c.) disable the main movie by making it invisible: _root._visible = false;
No window.onLoad function.
No ads that include applets without full q/a time from MTVN.
Traffic will try to put all "polite stream" ads into the same tile category so our pages will never load a floating ad and an in page ad unit that both have polite streaming after initial load.
We can also put them on the test site to test out and send to Q/A before putting live.
