Yeah, I remember click tags from my Flash days. Resubmitted, and then got an error for how I was direct linking the ad to a URL instead of using "clickTag". Apparently, I needed to find this line in the published HTML5 file: I fixed those two things, resubmitted, and then got another error. So I've sidestepped that issue for now, and will revisit it if I need to down the path. I asked for advice in another forum post and ohem helped out with his reply saying that I would be better off sticking with static text since Animate would automatically convert it to shapes when the file is published. Looking at the code, I couldn't figure out what needed to be changed. Apparently, when Animate publishes the files it links to the Google fonts in a way that makes AdWords sad. The other involved fonts, which surprised me because I was using Google Fonts. Which I already knew about, and just forgot.
#ADOBE ANIMATE TEMPLATES CODE#
I rebuilt my original ad, and when it came time to run it through the Validator, I got two errors one involving missing this code from the section: The next hurdle I had to overcome was building an ad in Animate and getting it through AdWord's HTML5 Validator. Oliver16Years was particularly helpful in pointing me down the correct path regarding the use of Animate versus hand coding, and that saved me quite a bit of time. Through watching videos, and searching the forums, I learned that Adobe Animate was basically Flash – or Flash enough that the learning curve would be pretty shallow – and that it could incorporate GreenSock. Around the middle of the HTML file, I saw, "UPDATES AND DOCS AT: ". It was exactly what he was looking for.įor the heck of it, I decided to take a look at the code for one of the ads and see if it was made in GWD, or something else. Apparently his missed it, because he said that he loved it. They were pretty basic, the one he really liked was a bit sloppy, but I replied that we could do that, and also pointed him back to the example ad that I had sent before. He sent us links to some ads that he liked, and asked if we could do something like that. I sent the example ad off to the client and didn't hear anything back until last week. I also calculated that it took me eight times as long to build that ad as it did for me to make a static ad. It was not an ad that I was very proud of, but at least it was working. Sometimes a background shape didn't do what it was supposed to, and nothing seemed to fix it. I banged my head against the wall trying to get text to do what I wanted, and ended up creating SVG shape files instead.
If anything, GWD felt worse than it did two years ago. swf files, I picked up GWD once again, and took a day to put together one ad that would show the client that we could do animated ads. After learning that AdWords will no longer accept.
We have a client that wants to start running animated banner ads through AdWords. I was content to leave HTML5 behind and pretend like I would never need to figure it out. Due to how long that process ended up being, we transitioned to using static ads instead of animated ads, and our clients were fine with that. That was so incredibly frustrating that I ended up going back to Flash CC 2015, animating the ads, then back saving the files to CS6 so I could publish them with the highest level of the Flash Library that AdWords would accept. I ended up landing on Google Web Developer, since that appeared at the time to be the only HTML5 program that AdWords would accept ads from.
#ADOBE ANIMATE TEMPLATES HOW TO#
The last time I made the effort to learn how to make HTML5 ads was a couple of years ago and was less than successful. That said, I'm a designer, not a coder, so trying to figure out what path I should take to move from Flash to HTML5 was like wandering around lost in a jungle, sans-machete. I'm very new to HTML5, but I have many years of experience with Flash. TL/DR: I've attached some templates that people might find useful if they are building ads for AdWords using Adobe Animate CC 2017.
