Floating or layer ad

Floating ad, or layer ad, is a special type of ad that flows into the page using animation upon a page load. The user can click on the Close button to make it disappear.

Create a floating ad

• Click on the menu Ads/Create a new ad and choose the ad type to be RichMedia/HTML
• Paste the ad code from the demo page below into the box
• Make sure you replace the ad content to your own ad. It could be a text link, a form, a Flash banner, or a standard image
• Use the JavaScript serving code (not iframe) since the code needs to move the ads on the main page

Flash/SWF Ad

If the floating ad is a Flash ad then the ActionScript code for the Close button should call the external JavaScript function to close the ad. It should look similar to this: on(release) { getURL("javascript:closeFloatingAd();"); } Additionally, a proper clickTag should be appended to the SWF file for click tracking.

Example

Please view the demo for source code.
