DFA Flavored ClickTag

Note: When setting up the ads in DFA "Allow Script Access" has to be checked. If you don't do that the click won't occur.

    //"hit" is the name of your Movie Clip or Sprite
    hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickedb, false, 0, true);

    function getBrowserName():String
    {
        var browser:String;
        //Uses external interface to reach out to browser and grab browser useragent info.
        var browserAgent:String = ExternalInterface.call("function getBrowser(){return navigator.userAgent;}");
        //Determines brand of browser using a find index. If not found indexOf returns (-1).
        if(browserAgent != null && browserAgent.indexOf("Firefox")>= 0) {
            browser = "Firefox";
        }
        else if(browserAgent != null && browserAgent.indexOf("Safari")>= 0){
            browser = "Safari";
        }
        else if(browserAgent != null && browserAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>= 0){
            browser = "IE";
        }
        else if(browserAgent != null && browserAgent.indexOf("Opera")>= 0){
            browser = "Opera";
        }
        else {
            browser = "Undefined";
        }
        return (browser);
    }


    function openWindow(url:String, target:String = '_blank', features:String=""):void
    {
        var WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION:String = "window.open";
        var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        var browserName:String = getBrowserName();
        switch (browserName)
        {
            //If browser is Firefox, use ExternalInterface to call out to browser
            //and launch window via browser's window.open method.
            case "Firefox":
                ExternalInterface.call(WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION, url, target, features);
               break;
            //If IE,
            case "IE":

                break;
            // If Safari or Opera or any other
            case "Safari":
                navigateToURL(myURL, target);
                break;

                break;
            default:
                navigateToURL(myURL, target);
                break;
        }
    }

        var sURL: String;
        if ((sURL = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag)) {
            openWindow(sURL);

Basic vanilla clickTag that should work everywhere.

Note: you'll probably end up with IE giving you the butter bar.

function basicClickTag(e:MouseEvent):void { 
    flash.net.navigateToURL( 
        new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG), '_blank' );
} 

//"hit" is the name of your Movie Clip or Sprite
hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, basicClickTag, false, 0, true);
