Creating Flash banner

In order to have a „book“ in the banner, the flash banner must have a movieclip object with an instance name „droppHolder“.

 The droppHolder movieclip:

  • The instance name of the movieclip should be named droppHolder.
  • The droppHolder object must be present throughout the banner's entire timeline.
  • The droppHolder object has to have an element inside it, as an empty movieclip doesn't have any size. Adding a simple box with transparent fill is the easiest.
  • The publication preview doesn't follow the droppHolders dimensions exactly, but takes up as much space as possible while maintaing the pulication preview's aspect ratio.

Be aware that fill of droppHolder should be transparent, not the droppHolder itself. If you make droppHolder movieclip semi-transparent (alpha = 50), flipping magazine will appear semi-transparent in the final banner. In the same way, droppHolder rotation will cause flipping magazine to be rotated in the final banner.

Note: Only banners made with ActionScript3 are supported.
