Html5 no sequence in creative

[mrk]

Hi,

It seem having a problem, in html5 SDK, when you do not put a sequence in the creative.  The Ad getCompanionAds do not return any companions when the Vast creatives have no sequence attribute.  Everything is OK in Flash. 

Thank you

Hi,

Would you be able to send over your ad tag so that we can test this out on our end?  Are you experiencing the same issue in our sample examples?

Thanks,

On this page https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/vastinspector are you using GPT or the getCompanionsAds function?

Hi there,

As stated in our documentation, the method getCompanionAds() uses the sequence number to match the companion ad slot size and the master creative. This is not the case with GPT and the companion ads will show without a sequence number.  Our sample here uses GPT that you can use to test your ad tag.

Thanks,
