The page peel tears down on roll-over for up to 8 seconds offering a massive canvas to our advertisers. On subsequent impressions the persistent dog ear will display in the upper right hand corner.
Haymarket provides the peel element; all functionally must be removed.

Prestitial
Prestitials are full-page ads that are displayed before the homepage loads. This large, dramatic high-impact banner allows your message to be seen by each visitor to the site.
Pushdown
The pushdown unit begins as a 1000×30 banner that expands to a 970×418 canvas that pushes the page content down, grabbing the user’s attention before retracting back to 1000×30.

FLASHFlash “clickTag” AS2 Specs
In order for Haymarket Media Inc. to properly track and report clicks with site served flash ads, please ensure all ads have the clickTag properly implemented. Adobe/ Macromedia currently recommends a “clickTag” method to track clicks for flash ads. This method uses variables to pass the click tracking string and URL into the Flash creative movies.
Transparent Button object layered on top of clickable area
Button clickthrough URL: _level0.clickTag (underscore level ZERO period clickTag)
Target window is set to “_blank”
Active Clickthrough URLs must accompany submission of flash files in .txt/.xls file
Flash “clickTag” AS3 Specs
Create the button
Transparent Button object layered on top of clickable area
Add the ActionScript to the button
Create a new layer, select the first keyframe in the layer and activate the Actions panel.
Copy and paste the code below. This defines the on click function. This function will be
called upon once your button is clicked:
Use the following code to connect the function above to the button you created. This tells flash what to do once the button is clicked. This code can be placed anywhere in your Actionscript code, but makes sense to attach it to your button layer. (In AS3, you can no longer attach Actionscript to the button itself, only to the layer):
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick);
CUSTOM CONTENT/MICROSITES
SKIN SPECIFICATIONS
The Skin allows an advertiser to take the place of the background on one page of a website. It can be combined with an advertising takeover to effectively promote brand awareness.
The Skin is best optimized for the target audience with a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels. Design of standard ad units may be used to integrate with the Skin to maximize the campaign effectiveness.
NOTES:
Haymarket Media requires that all creative be submitted five (5) business days to allow testing and approval prior to launch date.
Please ensure that all the above specifications are met. Creative assets that do not meet all of our specifications will be rejected, potentially affecting the launch date of the campaign.
If you have any further questions regarding campaign tracking for this placement, please contact your Haymarket Media representative.
