Frequently Asked Questions
If you do not see your question here, please send all technical help inquiries to FlashTrackingHelp@cbs.com.
Q: Do events and exit link limits pull from the same pool of 10?
A: No. There are 10 distinct exit links and 10 distinct events available for tracking.
Q: Is there an equivalent of Unicast.isMuted()?
A: Yes, use the boolean cbsiVideoPlayer.videoMuted to determine if your video is currently muted or unmuted.
Q: My video controls disappear when I compile to SWF what's going on?
A: You must compile the SWF with the "export hidden layers" enabled if using a version of the component earlier than 5.02.
Q: I'm writing a AS2 class for my ad, how do I call the tracking functions exposed by the component?
A: Use the Delegate or Proxy classes to manage these interactions within your class and call the component methods via _global.cbsi.methodName
function MyClass(){
//constructor
myButton.onRelease = Proxy.create(this, myEventMethod, 1,
"Event Number 1");
}
private function myEventMethod(event:String):Void{
_global.cbsi.event(foo, bar);
}
}
