Custom X button on interstitial

[charles-jeremy Colnet]

Hello (Eric Leichtenschlag) adMob

I have been looking over the forum for a solution to my close X button, here is what I found : 

- You replied to a post in 2013 that the close button ( X ) can't be moved ( except to the upper right side )

Now in 2015, I would like to know if we can move it the the bottom right or bottom left side of an interstitial banner ?

- In 2014 you replied that the X button can't be hidden

 what if we add another ( custom made close button )  to the banner, in that case, can we hide the native X button ?

If we can't move or can't hide the native X button,

 can we customized it in anyway ? replace by a jpg or something ?

Thanks

Hi Charles,

It is possible to customize the close button of the interstitial ad.  However, it can't be done at the developer level, as creatives are based on templates.  You can do it as an advertiser by using MRAID when developing the creative.

Thanks for the info

I found here 
http://www.iab.net/media/file/IAB_MRAID_v2_FINAL.pdf
(page 28)

the “useCustomClose” property

Can you confirm, if I set this property to true, the default X button will disappear and we will only use our home made custom close button ?

( while using MRAID of course )

Thanks

Hi Charles,

That is correct.  Setting useCustomClose() to true will disable the interstitial's default close button, and make use of your custom close indicator.

Thanks for your answer,

I am currently using 

mraid.useCustomClose(true);

and sometimes the native x button disappear sometimes it is still there, do I need to add something to permanently fix this ?
In order to remove the x button at all times ?

Thanks

PS : 
here is the code

 if (mraid.getState() === 'loading') {

        mraid.addEventListener('ready', hideClose);

      } else {

       hideClose();

      }

      function hideClose(){

        mraid.useCustomClose(true);       

      }

Hi Charles,

Looking at your code snippet, I do not see that you are supplying your own close indicator to suppress the default one.  Could you please confirm if that is the case?  If that does not resolve it, I'd suggest calling useCustomClose() in the default, rather than loading, state.

Hi Vu

Yes we are supplying a custom close button.

Since yesterday I made few changes to better handle exceptions

here is the code

<script type="text/javascript" src="mraid.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">  

    function documentReadyFn()

    {

      if(document.readyState === 'complete') {

        if (typeof mraid !== 'undefined') {

           if (mraid.getState() === 'loading') {

               mraid.addEventListener('ready', hideClose);

           }else if (mraid.getState() === 'default') {

              hideClose();

           }

        }else{

          setTimeout(documentReadyFn,100);

        }

      }else{

        setTimeout(documentReadyFn,100);

      }

    }

    documentReadyFn();

      function hideClose(){       

        mraid.useCustomClose(true);        

      }

      function closeButton(){

         mraid.close();

         //admob.opener.close();

      }

</script>

In theory this should fix the problem.
Also can you confirm that if I have a different ad-unit in the same app, each time the app make the call to display the ad, it will be as if ( the code above ) it's instantiated and running again. Right?

If for example I add a js alert, each time we display an interstitial ad, we should have an alert.
And the code should not interfere with itself, meaning multiple calls to the same function.

Thanks again for your input on this

Hi Charles,

If you have multiple ad units in the same app, each time a new interstitial is requested, the corresponding HTML will be rendered in the WebView, which means the code will get called again.  Similarly, if you add an alert at the time of the request, you will see the alert for every interstitial.

Cheers,
