Ad tag causes runtime null error

[xyc]

Hi there,

This ad tag seems to cause a runtime error inside one of the google components:

Here is the stacktrace:

Error: ErrorCode: 0 AdError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Thanks an advance for any help!

Just to clarify, I tried the ad tag on both the deprecated and new VAST inspector page.

Thanks for letting us know. We have a fix and intend to release it
some time next week.

With an adap.tv tag (identical to the one that this thread was started with), I am getting the following error from the FLASH IMA (1.4) sdk:

1. Error: Ad adPlayError error: Static resource cannot be displayed due to an error while loading it. Error name: uncaughtError, Error text: errorCode: 401

1. Error: Ad adLoadError error: No ads were found in the ad response. At least one ad is required to be able to load or play. errorCode: 1001

The samples given work fine with the given tags, and tags produced by using DFP. It's only failing for adap.tv tags. Is there anything I am missing in terms of setup?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

It looks like your ad tag is missing some parameters - I only see client, slotname, and description_url. Before you test with the player, you can try visiting your ad tag in a browser to make sure you're getting a VAST response. This page should help you build an ad tag that will give you a valid response. If you're still having trouble after taking a look at that page, I recommend contacting Ad Exchange support.

Thanks,

Hi, IMA SDK Support.  I have a similar issue, but it is with your IMA3 format delivered through a VPAID wrapper.  You can see this at the test page below.

Thank you,

Hi Sean,

Is there a test page up somewhere I can take a look? The original ad tag works fine on the Video Suite Inspector test page: https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/vastinspector_dual?player=flash&tag=http%3A%2F%2Fu-ads.adap.tv%2Fa%2Fh%2FxVTRLsmt9us5YjF0wA5TfIzwFw96v821%3Fcb%3Dkkjhgffdd%26pet%3Dpreroll%26pageUrl%3Dadap.tv%26eov%3Deov

FYI, if you're using v1 of the Flash SDK, that version is deprecated and no longer supported by us. Check out our blog post announcing the deprecation for more information.

Thanks,
