Ad Specs for Giant Digital Sites

General Requirements

Giant Digital accepts GIF, JPEG, Rich Media & Third Party Served ads.
Any sound must be user-initiated, defined as a click and not a mouseover or rollover, and clearly labeled with "Play" and "Stop" controls.
Flash files must be published as version 8 or below, and the frame rate must be less than or equal to 24 frames per second.

For the ad to be made clickable, clickTag code (shown below) should be attached to an invisible button. The invisible button (a button that contains only a hit state) should be the same size as the ad unit and placed on the topmost layer of the Flash file. It must read exactly as shown below:

on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
}

The expanded portion must close within 15 seconds of the mouse being moved away from the banner and must be clearly marked with a “CLOSE X” button in at least 10-pt type in the upper right hand corner of the expanded portion of the ad.

User-initiated expanding ads that expand upon mouse-over must clearly indicate their rollover functionality with language such as “roll over to learn more” or “roll over to expand.”

The expanded portion must automatically close when the user’s cursor moves off the ad.
