| This is a tutorial on how to make your banners so that they are clickable. 1. CREATING THE BUTTON After you've finished designing and animating your banner, make a new button symbol. Open up your library if it's not opened already (press F11). On the bottom left of the panel is a plus icon. Click it and a new panel opens up. Select the button option, name the symbol and then hit OK (Image 1). The button window should open up. In the timeline, there are 4 different types of frames: Up, Over, Down, and Hit. On layer 1, create 3 more blank keyframes(F7) as in Image 2. Now grab the rectangle tool 
and draw a black box on the stage of the 'hit' frame. You should end up
with something like Image 3. Image 1  Image 2  Image 3 2. ADDING THE BUTTON Go back to the main scene, and create a new layer. Make sure its on the top. Now from the library drag the button symbol onto your stage. It will look like a transparent aqua-blue box. Resize the button to cover your banner.  Image 4.

Make sure that the clickTAG URL is an expression.  Image 6 4. TESTING YOUR BANNER |
