Flash - Companion Ads - CompanionClickTracking doesn't work

[_JN]

Hello Group,

I'm having an issue with the Flash Player. I have a `CompanionClickTracking` XML node within my tag, but I've noticed that the url never gets fired when performing a clickthrough on the actual companion ad.  I've also checked the compatibility chart and it states that FLASH is compatible with VAST 2.0.  Would guys happen to know the issue?

Here's a sample of my tag running in the flash player: link

Also here's a snippet for my companion banner's:

P.S. the link will self-destruct in 30 days.

Hi there,

Thanks for letting us know about this issue.  It looks like CompanionClickTracking was recently introduced in VAST 3.0, and currently our SDKs are only partially supporting VAST 3.0 as reflected on the compatibility chart.

I have filed a request ticket for support for CompanionClickTracking.  Once there is news from the rest of the team, I will let you know.

Thanks,

Vu Chau

Understood, thanks for the quick reply!

Hi there, I've also reproduced that for HTML5 IMA SDK. Are there any updates regarding this issue?

Hi Lana,

Could you provide us the ad tag?

Thanks!

Thanks for the VAST, Lana! I have relayed this to the rest of the team to get it supported on HTML5.

We'll reach out once we have an update.

Are there any estimates when this can be done?

[Vu Chau (IMA SDK Team)]

Right now we don't have an ETA.  I'll reach out again when we do!
