The documentation states that "for Flash and video ads, you need to
call the Ad.getCompanionAdUrl API..."

Then it says that "for VAST ads, calling getCompanionAdUrl does not
work since the VAST response may contain either a URL to the companion
ad or an inline ad. Also, the VAST response may contain additional
information such as click-tracking URLs, etc."

It continues, "currently, for Flash companion ads in VAST, you must
call companionXMLList to get the XML companion ad nodes that are
included in the VAST response."

However, there is no "companionXMLList" property or method on ANY of
the API's classes. So if you are using the AS3 SDK in Flash and are
displaying a video preroll and would like to access companion ads, how
do you do it?

Thanks

sorry, documentation was lagging behind sdk code changes

check out

http://code.google.com/apis/ima/docs/sdks/googleflashas3_apis.html#Ad.getCompanionAds

This should allow access to companions through an api.
