Hi!

I cant find the solution for this problem and I´m very short of time to get
this thing going so I appreciate very much if someone could help me a little
bit.

The problem is basically that when I click on a button in my flash banner
(getURL, _self) nothing happens. I works fine in every else situation but
when the banner is placed on my clients server nothing happens!!!

This is where my test banner is placed:
http://www.sundance.se/abba/banner
and the button works just fine. (The URL that opens up is on the same
site/server that the banner will be placed in)

This is what I´ve done.
I made one SWF, placed on my clients site/server, holding one "mediaDisplay"
linking to an "FLV" placed on another server. One button that will "on(press)"
getURL in "_self" (have tried "on(release)" and one frame with AS that telling the
mediaDisplay to loop. Thats it! Very basic and simple... but!

Could it have something to do with "clickTag" or is that just for tracing the clicks??

Many thanx for any help!

That's odd, can you post the URL where the banner will be in production? Also, sometimes buttons don't activate if they are set to Track as Buttons. Setting them to Track as Menu Item solves the problem.

What's the code look like to link to the correct site?

Here it is!

on(release){
getURL("http://www1.ticnet.se/EventGroupList?eventname=The+Original+ABBA+Orchest ra&search=true&FastSearch=S%F6k&&sort=date", "_self");
}

I have noticed that the other flash banners on the site only link to external sites. (_blank)
and not as I am (_self). All the other banners that link to (_self) are GIF´s. Could that mean
something, or say something about the site/server??

What if you replace _self with _blank?

I have tought about it but I´m not shure if the site owner would allow that.
I´m not that fond of that solution even if that would work. The bad thing
is that I dont have FTP access, so I cant trial and error this thing.
