	To serve Flash ads and count the Flash ad clicks, you should follow the procedure listed below:
	STEP #1) In order to track clicks in a Flash advertisement, the clickable elements for the Flash banner need to use the "clickTAG" function that Shockwave supports. To apply the clickTAG function to a Flash banner, do the following:   1a) Edit the Flash movie file (.fla). Apply the following 4 lines of code to a button in Flash for the entire banner. This button should be the top layer of the Flash ad: on (release) { getURL(_level0.clickTAG, "_blank"); } 1b) Note that the word clickTAG is case sensitive! Do not edit the code above in any way. The final click-through URL will be handled externally by the ad server. 1c) Recompile the Flash movie into a shockwave file (.swf).
	STEP #2) Have the Flash designer also provide you with a GIF image, which will be shown if the browser does not have the Flash plug-in.
