Both the Banner and the Super Banner are integrated at the upper edge of the screen. They link to one of the advertiser's online specials or to the advertiser's own online presence.

Information Ad Types | Specials | Topic-Special 38 Conditions for advance notice periods and deliveries Find out what you need to take into consideration when delivering advertising materials and determining the advance notice needed. Deliveries When delivering advertising materials, please always include the following: • Customer name • Name of customer's campaign • Booking period • Booked site • Placement on the site • Ad format • Flash version • Size and weight of the motif • Click URL • Contact partner for questions • Alt text (optional) • JavaScript functions used • Ad server used (modifiable parameters) • Name of motif (optional) Please send your ads, incuding the above listed information, to banner[at]ip-deutschland.de. Advance notice Because of the increased integration costs, we need 5 days' advance notice before the start of a campaign using Rich Media advertising formats. For image files, 3 days' advance notice is sufficient. Flash and CPU load The ad cannot affect the CPU load on an average computer by more than 10% according to the current state of technology. Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Conditions for advance notice periods and deliveries 39 The following tips should be taken into consideration when programming an ad. Frame rate factor: We recommend following Adobe's suggestion: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14981 15-18 fps Complexity factor: Additional recommendations from Adobe: Improving Animations: Limit the number of simultaneous tweens. Either reduce the number of tweens or sequence the animation so that one tween begins when another one ends. Use transparency (alpha) effects on symbols sparingly because they are CPU intensive. In particular, it is better to avoid tweening symbols with alpha levels that are not fully opaque (less than 100%). Avoid CPU-intensive visual effects, such as large masks, extensive motion, alpha blending, extensive gradients, and complex vectors. Rendering vector ovals and circles is much more memory intensive than rendering quadrangles. Using round and oval strokes also greatly increases CPU use. Whenever possible, do not use strokes on your vector shapes because doing so increases the number of rendered lines. As a general rule, use bitmaps for small, complex images (such as icons) and vector graphics for larger and simpler ones. Import bitmap graphics at the size that they will be used in the application. Importing large graphics and scaling them down in Flash wastes file size and runtime memory. Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Conditions for advance notice periods and deliveries 40 Notes on 3rd-party redirects Please note the following information if you are using 3rd-party redirects. Acceptable ad formats All standardized ad formats and ad technologies can be delivered through a 3rd-party ad server. Fundamentally, the following technical requirements for 3rd-party ads must be fulfilled. Links Links must open a new window; they are activated via getURL and clicktags. Redirect technology It must be possible to transfer a redirect URL, and it must be documented in such a way that the marketer can also count clicks. Delivery format The tag should be delivered as a TXT file in IFRAMESCRIPTNOSCRIPT format. Please ensure that each version of the tag can also be used alone, since a combination of iFrame and script cannot always be used. iFrame tags cannot be used with Flash Layers. Variables to be replaced It is absolutely necessary to indicate which variables in the tag can and will be replaced, and how. This includes positioning, click tracking, transferring ad server macros, etc. Flash Flash ads must be logged in with the necessary identifying scripts. It is not absolutely necessary to set up a fallback image. Necessary parameters for Flash ads Wmode: The wmode parameter must be set. For all Flash Layer ads, wmode must be set to transparent. For all other ad formats, it must be set to opaque. Background color Every Flash film should have a background color, or else a default setting will be used. This is not necessary for Layer ads. Reloading Flash Flash ads that dynamically reload the advertising image from an external server - even if it is only part of the image cannot exceed the maximum total of 80kb (max. 40kb physically on the ad server and 40kb reloaded from an external server). In every case, there must be a fallback image in the SWF that will stand in for the reloading ad if the connection to the external server fails. Inquiries about video streams within the ad will be answered on an individual basis, according to the target platform. 3rd-party secure server for Flash When using Flash on HTTPS pages, CODEBASE and PLUGINSPAGE must be omitted; otherwise the user will receive a warning about unsafe elements on the site. Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on 3rd-party redirects 41 Flash Layers via 3rd-party use Positioning Positioning depends on the content area defined by the marketer. The marketer determines the position (the same as for ads without 3rd parties). Positioning is defined by passing the variable definition in JavaScript. JavaScript version Passing variables takes place through the variables adlayer_x and adlayer_y. Tag version When the tag is delivered, it must document which information in the tag will be used for positioning, e.g. xp=value and yp=value. The options are different depending on the ad server, and should be requested from the provider. Unique IDs All of the elements must have unique IDs. This applies both to the ads themselves and to other objects that are used in conjunction with the ads. If there are multiple objects, they must be numbered consecutively - for instance adlayerobject1, etc. The following are standardized: Object ID: For the Flash object, id=adlayerobject Div ID: When accepting a provided division, id=adlayerdiv Z index The Z index for a provided division must be set to a value of 900. Visibility When providing divisions, the marketer must control the visibility. As with positioning, this must involve passing variables. The chosen variable must be communicated at the time of delivery. visibility: +adlayervis+ FSCommand The necessary functions must be activated through FSCommand. The necessary scripts must be provided via the redirect. Special ad formats via 3rd parties • A Redirect Tag tracking pixel and a Redirect URL can be provided for all non-standardized formats (special ad formats). • Audio: Ads delivered via redirect cannot include audio. • Size and weight: must meet the specifications for individual ads. 3rd party and JavaScript • Variable names and functions must be clearly identified. This is important in order to avoid complications with other JavaScript Includes. We recommend always working with your own identification system, e.g. a company code. • Your own functions must be communicated when the ads are delivered! Function names must be unique. It makes sense to have a company code in the function name in order to avoid overlaps with functions on the site. • JavaScript cannot influence the functionality of the site. Any fade-ins/fade-outs of form fields must be discussed in advance and must be communicated upon delivery! • Browsers/operating systems cannot be excluded through a 3rd-party redirect. This can only be controlled via the publisher ad server, and must be clarified when making inquiries about availability. • Frequency Cap: Must fundamentally be controlled by the publisher ad server. • ime-based modulation: Must fundamentally be controlled by the publisher ad server. • Bandwidth targeting: Must be discussed in advance! Controlling only one bandwidth via a 3rd party is not permitted! Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on 3rd-party redirects 42 Pop-up, pop-under and full-screen interstitials • For redirect deliveries of ads that are opened in a new browser instance, only the ad itself can be delivered via the redirect. The new browser instance cannot be delivered via the redirect. • Pop-up blockers, especially those offered through the Windows XP Servicepack II, are becoming more and more common. The general opinion is that this ad format will sooner or later disappear from the market entirely. Since it is impossible to tell whether a user is surfing the web with a blocker, and if so which blocker, some booked orders may not be able to be carried out. • An alternative ad cannot be set. Reporting differences • Please note that deliveries via redirect will fundamentally always involve counting differences, due to technical reasons. In general, a loss of about 10% can occur for each node. This can result in a loss rate of up to 30% or more in redirect chains. • It should be noted that the publisher server's reporting provides the final accounting basis. Once the booked volume has been reached, the order is considered to be fulfilled even if the agency server's report shows a difference of approx. 15%. Cross-browser compatibility It must be ensured that the ads delivered via redirect can function smoothly on every browser platform. This must be checked and guaranteed before delivery. For Flash Layers, especially in Mozilla Firefox, performing the Close function via the FSCommand adlayerhider often causes problems because Firefox applies FSCommands differently. If no separate script snippet is available for this browser, the following elements must be used: • function [moviename]_DoFSCommand(command) • { FSCommandHandler(command); } • The movie name is also provided to the Embed Tag as a variable. This ensures communication between the script and Flash. Click tracking • Counting the clicks generated by an ad is an essential measurement tool for all participants. It is the only way for marketers to create formats based on the relevant figures for click rates for the individual ad formats, and to put them on the market as a work tool. • For this reason, many of the large ad servers have already developed ways to count clicks by attaching a specific parameter to the redirect tag. Please ask your ad server provider if and how such parameters can be transmitted.

Flash-Version We recommend using Flash 8 to export the SWF file. Because of a problem with the combination of the Flash 10 plug-in and IE 7 when the pop-up blocker is activated, we advise against exports using an earlier version. Ad-click tracking method • The click tag method is the uniform standard • In order to avoid problems with pop-up blockers in IE 7, the export version must be 8 or higher. Target window The window should be integrated as a clicktarget variable. Functions (action scripts) Via FSCommand Other necessary information • Flash version • Information about action scripts (if applicable) • Click URL Audio No automatic audio can be included. Sound can only start up after an explicit user interaction (onClick, e.g. on a speaker symbol), and the user must also be able to turn it off. The sound cannot start up during an onMouseOver event. Click tags (clickTag, clicktag) Click tags are a variable that allow you to attach the customer's click URL or deep link to the SWF from the outside. In Flash itself, the clicktag must be given as an expression for getURL. The buttons must be located on the top level. clicktag should be lower-case. The link is no longer fixed in the Flash program. Example: Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on Flash 44 Detailed information for the ActionScript versions: ActionScript 2.0: on (release) { getURL(_root.clickTag, _blank); } ActionScript 3.0: [instance name of the clickable area].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickTagHandler); function clickTagHandler(evt:MouseEvent) { var url:String = ; if (LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag) { url=LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag; } var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try { navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); } catch (e:Error) { } } Click target Defines how the link will open the ad. This value must also be passed as a variable from Flash. This allows you, for instance, to externally control when the target will come up in a pop-up. Instead of setting this directly in Flash, the variable clicktarget (lower-case) is given as an expression. Example: Information about FSCommand • FSCommand works with VB Script and is used for passing a function from Flash. It is subject to fewer errors than the common getURL. Not defined as an expression! • All of the necessary scripts that FSCommand will initiate from the pages must be provided and communicated when the Flash ad is delivered. Example: Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on Flash 45 Advance notice Because of the increased integration costs, we need 5 days' advance notice before the start of a campaign using Rich Media advertising formats. In order to carry out any necessary modifications without significant costs, we recommend also providing the *.fla program file. In this case, it is recommended that text elements be converted to symbols or that the selected font be included.
