I observed that no AdEvent occurred when clicking the Iframe area and the linear ad ended playing, so there was no opportunity to complete this operation

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the IMA SDK support team.

I’ve checked our nonlinear sample VAST and found that the nonlinear collapsed one is clickable and the expanded one is not clickable. 

This is expected behavior in non linear cases.

As I can see in this code, only adImage is having a click event listener and not in videoSlot.

I think the point we are testing is ambiguous. I am using a normal non-linear Vast ad in VSI PageI want to confirm that whether the content video area can be allowed or notified event after clicked outside the non-linear ad display area.

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

No, it is not possible to get notified after clicking outside the non-linear ad display area.

NonLinearAds Tracking Elements is a container for elements of the following type contains a URI to a location or file that the video player should request when a specific named event occurs during the playback of the Nonlinear creative (the event name is passed as an attribute of this element);
NonLinear Tracking Elements (See Section 2.2.5.2 for more information) contains a URI for a Webpage that the video player should open in a Web browser window when the user clicks on the Nonlinear creative

NonLinearClickThrough: provides a URL to an advertiser-related page when the user clicks the ad; only necessary for static resource files that lack technology to provide a clickthrough NonLinearClickTracking: in an InLine, NonLinear creative, this element is used to track NonLinear clickthroughs in cases where the creative handles the clickthrough, such as when an API like VPAID is used.
