Velkommen
Tak for din interesse i at annoncere med Microsoft Advertising. Her i dokumentet finder du vores
retningslinjer for produktion og indsendelse af materialer.
Når vi modtager en pakke bannerannoncer bliver den sendt fra vores salgsafdeling til godkendelse i
et centralt system, hvorfra vi styrer alle de bannerne, der kører på vores netværk. Vores specifikationer
bygger på internationale branchestandarder. For at din kampagne bliver accepteret i systemet og vi
dermed kan yde den mest effektive service, så er det nødvendigt, at de bannere vi modtager fra dig
er inden for de specifikationer, som er angivet i dette dokument. Begrænsningerne er med til at sikre,
at brugerne får en god oplevelse på vores netværk, men der er stadig store muligheder for kreativ
frihed i udformningen af materialet – så imponér brugerne med levende annoncer!
Med venlig hilsen,
Louise Kloster
Trade Marketing Manager, Microsoft Advertising
PS. Enkelte afsnit (af mere teknisk karakter) af dette dokument er på engelsk, men vi har gjort vores bedste for at
holde informationerne på dansk.

Retningslinjer for indsendelse af annoncemateriale
Sammen med det indsendte materiale skal du angive følgende oplysninger:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Navn på annoncøren
Microsoft ordrenummer eller IO nummer
Startdato for kampagnen
Slutdato for kampagnen
Clickthrough URL (hvor skal bannerne linke hen?)
Annoncens rotation i procent (ved indsendelse af flere annoncer til samme placering)
Send alt annoncemateriale til din Account Manager.
Annoncerne skal overholde kravene i Microsofts ”Politik for accept af kreative elementer”.
http://advertising.microsoft.com/creative-acceptance-policy
Deadlines
Microsoft Advertising skal bruge 3 hele arbejdsdage til at teste og forberede standardindesendelser af GIF ,JPG og
Flash-filer. Sørg venligst for at indsende materialet i god tid før annoncens startdato.
Microsoft Advertising skal bruge 5 hele arbejdsdage til at teste og klargøre rich media-løsninger, dvs. rich media
leveret af tredjepart som f.eks. Eyeblaster.
BEMÆRK:
Alle elementer der ikke overholder specifikationerne sendes tilbage til revison, hvilket kan forsinke kampagnestart.
Hvis du har brug for yderligere information om diverse spcifikationer henviser vi til
http://advertising.msn.dk
Har du spørgsmål til indsendelse af annoncemateriale, skal du kontakte din account manager.
Clicktag
For at Microsoft kan håndtere annoncer med Flash-indhold korrekt, skal alle SWF-filer kodes med enten en ”getUrl”
kode eller en ”fscommand” (fscommand anvendes ved flere URL´er i samme banner). Dette er nødvendigt for at
Microsoft kan tracke annoncen helt præcist - hvis kampagnens URL er hardcoded i SWF-filen, vil Microsoft IKKE kunne
registrere klikkene.
Ved CPM kampagner
GetUrl-indstillingen konfigureres således:
On (release) {
getUrl(_root.clickTAG,,”_blank”)
}
Fscommand-indstillingen konfigureres således:
on (release) {
fscommand(”URL1”)
}
Ved CPC kampagner
GetUrl-indstillingen konfigureres således
On (release) {
getUrl(clickTag, ”_blank”);
}

Retningslinjer for indsendelse af annoncemateriale (fortsat)
Navngivning
Alle filer bedes leveret i henhold til følgende standard formatering:
• Navngivning: ”Annoncør_Kampagnenavn_Sprog_Størrelse_Version”
• Eksempel: ”Microsoft_Vistabusiness_DK_300x250_v01.swf”
”v01” står for version 01.
Streaming
Annoncer der benytter streaming skal overholde følgende specifikationer:
•
•
•
Streaming indholdet må godt aktiveres automatisk. Dog anbefaler Microsoft at streaming aktiveres af brugeren, da det giver den bedste brugeroplevelse.
Lyd skal altid aktiveres ved klik af brugeren og må aldrig ske automatisk.
Annoncer med streaming indhold skal indeholde en tydelig funktion, som brugeren kan benytte til at slå det til og fra.
Streaming kan afvikles på Microsoft netværket på følgende måder:
• Flash-filer hosted af Microsoft, hvor filerne henviser til en tredjepartsudbyder af streaming
via f.eks. Eyeblaster, Atlas etc.
• Tredjepart håndterer alt vedr. hosting-delen.
Levering fra tredjepart
Alle annoncer, som hostes af tredjepart, skal overholde Microsofts generelle specifikationer mht. Kb –begrænsninger,
animation, lyd, m.v.
Herudover rapporterer Microsoft ikke statistiske oplysninger om klik, som vedrører annonce-koder fra tredjepart (f.eks.
Flash som leveres af tredjepart, Adform eller andre)

Om lyd, animation, Flash, mv.
•

Alle elementer der ikke overholder specifikationerne sendes tilbage til revision, hvilket kan forsinke kampagnestart.
Lyd skal altid aktiveres ved at brugeren klikker på banneret med musen.
Hvis der bruges lyd, skal banneret indeholde en tænd/sluk-knap til lyden.
Animation i banneret er begrænset til de første 15 sekunder. Banneret må ikke loope eller animere efter de første 15 sekunder.
Hvis du sender annoncemateriale i form af Flash-filer, skal du for hvert bannerformat sende én SWF-fil, samt én GIF eller én JPG-fil (til brugere, der ikke har Flash installeret).
For at Microsoft kan håndtere annoncer med Flash-indhold korrekt, skal alle SWF-filer kodes med enten en
”getURL” eller en ”fscommand” kode (se side 4 for yderligere information)
Klik-destinationens URL skal åbne i et nyt browservindue.
Det kreative element skal have en ramme på 1 pixel (grå [nr. 666666] eller sort anbefales, men enhver farve, der tydeligt adskiller annoncen fra indholdet på hjemmesiden, kan anvendes).
Hvor lang tid inden skal vi have bannerne?
Deadline for levering er 3 hele arbejdsdage inden den dato, hvor kampagnen starter.

Tekstlinks
Brugeroplevelsen
1.
2.
3.
Når et samtalevindue åbnes, forbliver tekstlink-annoncen der, indtil vinduet lukkes. Selv hvis det minimeres, bliver
den samme annoncør ved med at være der. Annoncen forsvinder først, når samtalevinduet lukkes
(ved at der trykkes på krydset).
Der foretages en ny annoncegenkendelse for hvert samtalevindue, der oprettes.
Annoncen bliver der lige så længe, som samtalevinduet er åbent.
Tekstlink Specifikationer
• Max 65 tegn inkl. mellemrum
• Klikdestinationen skal åbnes i en ny browser.
• Teksten må ikke bestå af udelukkende store bogstaver.

Oplevelse for slutbruger
1.Bruger besøger en MSN-side med Eyeblaster Expandable Banner-script. Annoncen på 40 K indlæses på 300x250 anonncepladsen.
2. Flash-oplevelsen begynder og giver brugeren en stor medieoplevelse.
3. Hvis brugeren placerer musemarkøren på visse områder af annoncen, udvides et panel med tilbud om en ekstra stor oplevelse. Panelet er en del af den ”høflige download”, der opstår, når siden er indlæst, og det påvirker ikke sidens indlæsningstid.
4. Efter et fast tidsrum, eller når brugeren flytter musen væk fra annoncen, trækkes panelet tilbage til 300x250 annoncepladsen.
5. Hver gang brugeren flytter musen hen over annoncen, udvides panelet igen.

Om lyd, animationer, mv.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Looping/genafspilninger skal initieres af bruger.
Lyd må ikke vare mere end 15 sekunder.
Lyd skal altid være brugeraktiveret og må aldrig være automatisk.
Hvis der bruges lyd, skal annoncen indeholde en on/off-knap til brugerne.
Alle indsendelser af DHTML-annoncer skal have en ledsagende standardgrafik, som vises til brugere, som ikke har IE 4.0 eller højere.
Animationer er begrænset til de første 15 sekunder, looping er ubegrænset inden for 15 sekunder. Brug animationer forsigtigt. - Hold animationen glat og flydende med langsomme bevægelser og blide overgange. Hurtige og bratte bevægelser er meget irriterende. Undgå visninger/oplevelser, som ’bryder igennem’ siden eller misbruger indholdet.
Flash-filer skal have indlagt en FSkommando i filen.
Hvis du sender flash-filer, så skal du for hvert banner sende en SWF-fil, samt en back-up GIF (eller JPG).
Det kreative element skal have en ramme på 1 pixel (grå [nr. 666666] eller sort anbefales, selvom enhver farve, der tydeligt adskiller annoncen fra indholdet, kan anvendes).
Klik-destinationens URL skal åbnes i en ny browser.
Det er en stor fordel, at teste bannerne inden du fremsender dem til os. Til dette formål kan det gøre det mere over
skueligt at lægge bannerne online på et testlink.
Panelkrav/-kontrolelementer
• Panelet må ikke gå mere end 200 pixel ud over venstre/højre kant i det primære kreative element og 50 pixel ud over de øverste/nederste kanter.
• Paneler må kun udvides, når brugeren klikker på eller flytter musen hen over dem.
• Kontrolelement = ”Luk X”
• Skrifttype = 16 pkt
• Placering = Ved kant af vist annonce (ikke i panel)
• Funktion = Panel trækkes tilbage, når musen flyttes væk.
Brug af video
• Værtsinitieret video kan anvendes ethvert sted i brugeroplevelsen.
• Videovarighed: Maks. 15 sekunder
• Al lyd skal startes af brugerklik.
• Brugerinitieret Flash-buffervideo tilladt (Flash 6.0 og nyere)
• Må kun vises i panelet og må afspilles automatisk, når panelet udvides. Stop/Mute- og Start-knapper er påkrævede.
• Lyd skal startes af bruger og må ikke køre i løkke eller overstige 15 sekunder.
Retningslinier for indsendelse af Eyeblaster-annoncer
Der skal gennemføres to trin for at udsende en Eyeblaster-annonce på MSN. Først skal annoncøren bruge Eyeblasterbrugergrænsefladen til at overføre nødvendige kreative elementer eller sende kreative elementer til Eyeblaster. Eyeblaster opretter derefter annoncekoder, der skal overføres til MSN, for at annoncen kan udsendes.
MSN kræver 3 arbejdsdage fra den dato, hvor koderne modtages fra Eyeblaster, til at teste, planlægge og udgive
koderne på MSN-netværket. MSN-ekspeditionstiden på 3 dage starter, når et komplet kreativt element er modtaget af
MSN, og når en tilsvarende MSN-ordre er underskrevet.
For at lave en annonce til Eyeblaster skal du have adgang til deres brugergrænseflade. MSN kan oprette dig som bruger, hvis du ikke allerede har adgang. Når du har adgang skal du uploade annoncen gennem deres brugergrænseflade.
Eyeblaster har deres egne standarder for click, video og expandable-elementer. Specs. og eksempler kan findes på
www.eyeblaster.com - Når du er færdig med din annonce skal du give MSN besked. Dernæst vil MSN sætte godkendelsesforløbet hos Eyeblaster igang.

TAB
Brugeroplevelse
Windows Live Messenger tab er tilgængelig for brugere af Windows Live Messenger.
Udvikling
Udviklingen af en tab svarer til at lave en hjemmeside inden for de givne størrelser (555 x 450 pixels). Tab’en kan laves i
Flash, Silverlight eller andet, men det er vigtigt, at vælge en teknologi som er bredt tilgængelig
Specifikationer
1)Tooltip
2)Ikon-URL
3)Indholds-URL
4)Indholdets IP-adresse
Tooltip
Dette er en kort sætning, som vises, når brugeren placerer markøren på Messenger Tab-ikonet. Tooltippet kan være
navnet på klientens selskab eller produkt, en beskrivelse af funktioner, som tilbydes med denne Messenger Tab, eller en
virksomheds slogan. Denne tekst skal oversættes til det passende sprog, før du insender din Messenger Tab til Microsoft Advertising. Tool Tip tekst må ikke være længere end 65 tegn.

• Et Portable Network Graphics (PNG)-filformat med alpha (variabel) transparens
• Statisk
• 96 DPI
• Ikke være større end 5 KB
• Være udviklet således, at det tydeligt kan ses i enten en dæmpet eller normal tilstand.
Indholds-URL
Dette er en URL, som peger på Messenger Tab-indholdsfilen. Det er klientens og/eller den lokale Microsoft Advertisingafdelings ansvar at hoste dette indhold. Det eneste indhold, der håndteres af Windows Live Messenger Tab Support, er
den XML-fil, som henter dette indhold.
Denne URL kan også indlæses i en normal browser til forhåndsvisning af Messenger Tab.
(eksempel) http://cp.intl.match.com/plc/msntab/en-uk/m/index.html

The end user experience
1. Users are exposed to promotional thumbnails within the Messenger conversation window. Users select a content menu (wink, emoticon, display picture, background) where advertiser thumbnails display in a “featured” menu.
o When a user clicks on a promotional thumbnail, the selected content is downloaded and inserted into their “most recently used” menu. In the case of the background image or display picture, clicking on a promotional thumbnail will automatically replace the user’s existing background/display picture with the selected content.
2.After downloading selected content, users may insert emoticons and winks into a conversation; they may also change their background or display picture from the default selection using the “most recently used menu”.
3.Users may also send content to Messenger Contacts during a conversation by inserting a wink or emoticon into the conversation stream or by selecting the “Share Background” option.
4.Once the ad campaign has expired, it will no longer be visible in the content drop down menus. Any installed items will still be visible in a user’s “Most Recently Used” menu as this content is physically saved on the user’s machine.

Display Pictures
Display Picture Picture (Quantity: 1 Dynamic Display Picture & 1-2 Static Display Pictures, OR 3 Static Display
Pictures) Display pictures are images applied to a personal user tile within the Messenger conversation window.
Display pictures can be both dynamic and static.
Static Display Picture
• File Type: .gif (static), .jpg,
• File Dimensions: 96w x 96h
• File Weight: 20kb Maximum (Each)
• Animation: No
Dynamic Display Picture - User selects a DDP from the menu as shown below. If selected, the standard static Display
Picture is replaced with a taller animated Flash file. This file has up to 5 different animated states that can be selected
by the user or triggered by either emoticons or character sequences mapped via xml. For example, the characters ”:)”
could be mapped to an animation sequence of a character smiling. These animations will display on both the users
machine and anyone who communicates with the user and chooses to view Display Pictures.
Note: A DDP element will incorporate up to 5 distinct emotional states –intended to be mapped directly to the Personal
Expression emoticons.
31
• File Type: single .swf published for Flash6 (file compression enabled)
• File Dimensions: 98w x 142h
• File Weight: 500kb (Maximum) / 300kb (Recommended)
• Audio: Limit one sound file per animated state. No looping. (MP3 files may be embedded into frames when crea
ting the .swf file)
• Flash Frame Rate: 18 FPS (Maximum) / 12 FPS (Recommended)
• Key Sequence: Key Sequence for each mood
• Scripting ”Moods”: Utilizing the fla template provided, Dynamic Display Pictures will be able to provide a single swf file containing multiple emotional states/Moods associated with an animation sequence.
o When a user either selects a different state or uses a linked trigger, the messenger client reloads the Flash file while passing it a variable. This variable tells the Flash file which state has been selected and if coded properly, will jump to that point on the timeline.
This variable is defined as displayMood in our supplied template and should not be altered for any reason.
What can be altered freely are the names you give your individual states as these are established via Frame Labels.
o Frame Labels One for each animated state (up to 5 including the default). Please note the names of each label and supply this information to whoever completes the submission documentation. Also note that the use of the word default as a label will cause issues as this is reserved for use with Actionscripting. In our sup
plied template, the states are “none” (for the default state) and state001 through state004. The order that the states appear on the timeline is irrelevant with the exception that the default state should always occur first.
o _root.gotoAndPlay(displayMood); This code should be present no later than the third frame on the main timeline, and before any animation displays. (it is recommended to use a consistent background image for all states to make the transitions as seamless as possible.)
o Building Your Flash File: Here is a screenshot of the supplied template’s main timeline. The first frame that Actionscript occurs in uses the script [ _root.gotoAndPlay(displayMood); ]. This looks for a variable that is passed to the Flash file via the Messenger client and will then jump to the corresponding label. If no variable is passed, the DDP will automatically play the default state.
• Insert Image
• The second frame with Actionscripting is a [ stop(); ] command followed immediately by another frame with the same code as the first scripted frame. This redundancy is there to aid the client in ensuring that the correct state is displayed.
• If built properly, the published DDP will switch between moods within the Flash Player by pres
sing CTRL+ENTER or selecting the Play option from the Control menu.

Emoticons (Quantity 1-5)
Personalized theme characters/icons that can be inserted into a conversation to typically show moods and emotions
(can be animated). Note: the most effective emoticons are those that can frequently be applied in the context of a chat
conversation (e.g. smiley character, lunch time icon, going to bed now icon, etc.). They are not intended to always tie
directly to brand logos/imaging.
If a Dynamic Display Picture is created, emoticons should map directly to each emotional state within the Dynamic
Display Picture. This can be done by creating emoticons that display the same emotions as the “moods” implemented
in a dynamic display picture. The “moods” and associated emoticons should utilize the same “Key Strokes.”
• Emoticon
o File Type: gif (static or animated), .jpg
o File Dimensions: 19w x 19h
o File Weight: 10kb Maximum (Each)
o Animation: Yes
o Key Strokes: Not to exceed 6 characters
• Emoticon Key Strokes indicate the short key sequence which may be used to insert an emoticon into a conversation window without the use of the drop-down menu.
Winks (Quantity 1-3):
A user selects a Wink from the menu as shown to the right. Upon selection an animated Flash file displays for 7 seconds
over the chat window (see second image). This animation is viewable by all chat participants unless a recipient has
chosen to block Wink animations. In these instances, the text link that appears in the chat history window will allow the
user play the Wink manually. The animation will automatically unload from the client upon completion of the animation or 7 seconds, whichever occurs first. Any user can replay the animation by clicking the text link as many times as
they would like.
33
Additional guidance regarding ActionScripting can be found in the “Creative Technical Requirements” section.
• Wink
o File Type: single .swf file published for Flash 6 (preferred) or Flash 5 (file compression enabled)
o File Dimensions/Stage Size: 640w x 480h (Maximum) / 400w x 300h (Recommended)
• Note: By default, a Wink will scale uniformly to fit the chat window until one of the two dimensi
ons hits the border of the display area. This is why we recommend using stage dimensions that are taller than they are wider as most users will extend the chat client vertically more often than horizontally.
o File Weight: 150k (Maximum) / 75k (Recommended)
o Animation Length: 7 Seconds Maximum
o Audio: Non-User Initiated Sound in an integrated .wav format.Audio must be integrated into the .swf file (Not as a separate wav file). Streaming only, no event sounds.
o Flash Frame Rate: 18 FPS (Maximum) / 12 FPS (Recommended)
o Animation: Yes
o Scripting Guidance: There are only three pieces of Actionscripting that are allowed to be used in Winks. Any files submitted using code that is not listed below will be rejected by the client and will not display.
• stop(); This is used to stop playback.
• fscommand(“quit”); This must be placed on the last frame of the main timeline and instructs the Messenger client to unload the Flash animation
• No Scale Script - If your Wink is reliant on bitmap imagery, you can use the following script that will prevent the Wink from being scaled any larger than the base stage size, though the file will be scaled down if displayed in a chat window that has been minimized by the user.
• var originalX;
var originalY;
Stage.scaleMode = ”showAll”;
originalX = Stage.width;

Building Your Flash File:
o As stated in the DDP section, no Actionscripting is allowed outside of the three commands listed. The simplest and most common method of creating a Wink is to manually tween all of the elements on the main timeline, only nesting elements in movie clips that have repeating animation or play a limited number of times and stop. Building on the main timeline also ensures you do not exceed the maximum playback time of 7 seconds.
o Place the “No Scale Script” on the first frame if you wish to prevent the users chat window from scaling the Wink larger than the default stage dimensions. Place the stop and fscommand on the last frame.
o Remember to make sure you output the file in Flash 6 format and ensure that file size does not exceed the 150kb maximum.
• Wink Product Thumbnail - Thumbnail images which are inserted into the “Most Recently Used” menu after Winks are downloaded by a user. There should be a unique thumbnail for each Wink created.
o File Type: .gif (static), .jpg
o File Dimensions: 32w x 32h
o File Weight: 10k Maximum
o Animation: No
o Alt Text: 65 Characters or less including spaces

Common Design/Validation Issues
Backgrounds
Typical Issues:
• Often submitted as compressed JPG’s (GIF or uncompressed JPG only)
• PNG Format is not accepted
• Exceeds file size limits
• Bad placement of sponsor logos within the image (ensure logo is visible in conversation window)
• Often treated like one big banner ad
• No thumbnail image provided
Display Pictures
Typical Issues:
• Often submitted as compressed JPG’s (GIF or uncompressed JPG only)
• PNG Format is not accepted
Dynamic Display Pics
Typical Issues:
• Often produced without proper Actionscripting
• Only the white-listed actionscripts listed may be used
• User selected states loop indefinitely or revert to a generic branding state.
• Clients try to embed video (causes failure during validation)
Winks
Typical Issues:
• Created using unauthorized Actionscripting
• Missing Actionscripting that closes the animation
• Animation has too many moving elements, creates choppy or slow playback
• Animation uses compressed bitmaps that distort in larger/smaller chat windows
• Thumbnail images are the wrong dimensions
Emoticons
Typical Issues:
• First frame of animation is blank (translates to a blank thumbnail)
Featured Thumbnail
Typical Issues:
• Submitted as an animated GIF (uncompressed JPG is standard)
• Image dimensions are too large
Creative Business Requirements
General Functionality
Creative
• No Forms allowed
• Flash must be published in Flash 5.0 or 6.0 (including security code) only
• Audio must be user-initiated and never automatic.
Respect the user
• The Messenger Client should remain easy to use
• Creative should focus on being educational and / or entertaining
• Creative should be clever and engaging while conforming to user expectations of the MSN experience
• Never use pulsing or garish colors
Theme Creative Dimensions and Weight
• Verify that Flash components such as Winks and DDP’s do not prompt the user to download Flash or any other Plug-
In in any situation
• Verify that the flash files are of the correct dimensions when rendered
35
Animations
• Keep animation smooth and fluid, using slow motions and gentle fades. Fast and abrupt motion has been shown to be highly irritating
• Avoid experiences that ’break-through’ the client or abuse the content
o Not allowed
• Animation that does not tie into the messaging/ product/ offer
• Repetitive, rapid flashing, or blinking- No animation in excess of 10 seconds (see the individual product creative specs)
• Cycling of sequences/ looping/ repeat animation
Cross Media Campaigns
• Allowed with restrictions
o Advertisements which are part of a cross media campaign are allowed. Advertisements which are featured across advertising mediums provide a level of predictability and familiarity. The expectation of these brands to all viewers, is consistent. Ads which carry an industry acceptance are acceptable to run on our
network.
Imagery
• Not allowed
o Pixilated or unclear designs/ logos/ images
o Imagery that appears to have functionality but does not. i.e. drop down menus, radio buttons, etc.
o Microsoft, MSN, or Windows Live imagery/ logo/ theme cannot be used or called out in advertisement.
o Racy imagery that is not representative of the products being offered.
o Arbitrary imagery which has no association with the product/offering. This type of imagery is unpredicta
ble and misleading to users
Messaging
• Not allowed
o Ads that do not incorporate advertiser’s logo.
o Destination pages linked from an ad that does not include the products/ offers shown in the ad.
o Messaging or offers that mislead the user.
o Racy content that is not representative of the products/services being offered.
o Text that is not representative of the products/services being offered. Text which can be interpreted as misleading or invites a user to an experience which is not predictable to the product/service being offered.
• Allowed with restrictions
o Non-branded Pharmaceutical advertisers who are promoting informational data about a product or drug.
o Non-branded Pharmaceutical advertisers who mention the drug brand name but do not mention the disease or condition. (brand building
Functionality
• Not allowed
o Creative submitted by or on behalf of an advertiser may not:
• Utilize deceptive advertising or misleading user experience to drive user clicks on an advertise
ment. For example; when a user clicks on a specific state for an Ad that says ”Click your state for more information” the landing page must meet the users expectation providing information for that state.
• Utilize fake html or images that elicit unexpected behaviors. Examples of these include but are not limited to:
• Static images of: drop down menus, text boxes, scroll down menus, radio buttons, etc., that are not fully functional
• Text that animates or changes colors that presents users with an expectation of functionality (e.g. text that functions
like a hyperlink or expanding ad components)
• Utilize any element designed to generate a click without relevant information or content at the destination.
• Utilize ’Focus’ commands to make the ad the active window
• Utilize ’fake’ ”Close” icons (for example: when you close an ad, it should close it and not trigger ’unexpected’ beha
vior such as another ad, page, etc.)
• Utilize ’mouse trapping’ whereby the advertiser does not allow users to use their ’back button’ and traps them on
their site
• Ad cannot appear to be part of the UI
• Imitate Microsoft Windows operating system messages, look and feel and/or behavior such as, but not limited to,
error messages, dialog boxes, OS boxes, DOS boxes, and Windows icons
• Imitate in look and feel or functionality the site/section on which it is running (for example: An ad on MSN Search
should not look or feel like the Search box)

Appear as though it is part of the content/site on which it appears. White and/or ads with a similar color as the
background of the site must have a border or otherwise clearly stand out (see the individual product creative specs
for details)
Imitate presupposed knowledge about the functionality of your personal computer
Pretend to know details about a user’s computer/system, including what is/is not installed, whether it has discovered
viruses, worms, corrupted files, etc. (for example: scare tactics to make users buy/download software etc.)
Promote or contain viruses, worms, corrupted files, cracks or other material that is intended to or may damage or
render inoperable software, hardware or security measures of Microsoft, any user of MSN.com and/or the Microsoft
network of services, or any third party
Appear to make the ad page look broken or as if something is not working what is considered to be normal on a web page
Contain text reference on an ad or on the landing page to a group of Microsoft customers to entice them to view the ad as special for them (for example: ”Attention MSN Users”)
Contain the MSN Butterfly logo without a trademark license from LCA
Have a Pop-Up ad or a Pop-Under ad launched from within an ad or from the landing page whether real or imitated behavior
Perform an automatic download of anything to a user’s system or present a download dialog box without first presenting detailed information to the user about the download and then requiring the user to click to download the product
Creative Technical Requirements
The technical capabilities of both Winks and Dynamic Display Pictures are detailed below. These parameters relate to
the capabilities enabled within Flash for these ad products.
As a general rule, Winks and Dynamic Display Pictures DO NOT allow the following:
1.Access to input/output of any sort; this include to/from a server, the local hard disk, or any devices (including web cams, etc)
2.Any action scripts that would cause Messenger to exhibit unacceptable behavior (such as a wink popping open a browser window to a web page)
3.Any action scripts or flash features in versions of the flash file format that are released after FlashBang is released. Only when FlashBang is updated to handle new flash file versions will those higher version be allowed to passed
4.Anything that is not explicitly defined in the Macromedia Flash (SWF) file format
ActionScript methods below are the actual ActionScript functions or methods that a use would type into the Macromedia Studio MX application. Action opcodes are the binary numbers (which represents particular actions) that are
generated by Studio MX when you export to a *.swf file.
NOTE: For all restriction levels, embedded video (i.e. mpeg-type video) is always disallowed.
General Rules
• You cannot assign to or from a user defined function so: “Movie.OnEnterFrame = myFunction” is not allowed. This also applies to events. What is recommended for events (such as onEnterFrame) is to do Movie.OnEnterFrame { //do stuff } as opposed to using assignment (as above)
• You must declare a function/method/class before calling/using it
• You cannot assign to or from an allowed listed function/object, i.e. Color.setRGB = myFunction() { } is disallowed
• You cannot use exceptions
• You cannot use static methods

Date Class
The full Date class has been added to both the Winks and DDP’s AllowLists.
The definition of the Date class shown below is taken from:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flashlite/2/main/00000468.html
Object
|
+-Date
public class Date
extends Object
The Date class lets you retrieve date and time values relative to universal time (Greenwich mean time, now called universal time or UTC) or relative to the operating system on which Flash Player is running. The methods of the Date class
are not static but apply only to the individual Date object specified when the method is called. The Date.UTC() method
is an exception; it is a static method.
The Date class handles daylight saving time differently, depending on the operating system and Flash Player version.
Flash Player 6 and later versions handle daylight saving time on the following operating systems in these ways:
•
Windows - the Date object automatically adjusts its output for daylight saving time. The Date object detects whether daylight saving time is employed in the current locale, and if so, it detects the standard-to-daylight saving time tran
sition date and times. However, the transition dates currently in effect are applied to dates in the past and the future, so the daylight saving time bias might calculate incorrectly for dates in the past when the locale had different transi
tion dates.
To call the methods of the Date class, you must first create a Date object using the constructor for the Date class, described later in this section.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0

Embedded Video in Flash
The following ActionScript tags have been added to both the Winks and DDP’s Allow Lists:
• VideoFrame
• DefineVideoStream
[The information below on the VideoFrame and DefineVideoStream tags has been taken from Macromedia_v7_flash_
file_format_specification.pdf .]
SWF Video Tags
The following tags define embedded video data within a SWF file. These tags are permissible only in SWF version 6 or
later.
Video embedded in SWF is always streamed: video frames are located in the SWF frames with which they are temporally associated, and video playback can begin before an entire video stream has been downloaded. This is comparable
to the way that streaming sounds are defined (see streaming sound).
DefineVideoStream
Defines a video character which can later be placed on the display list (see The Display List).

Brugeroplevelsen
The MSN Video Ad consists of three elements
• 15 second streaming ad (4:3 aspect ratio - 320x240 or 16:9 aspect ratio - 426x240)
• 300x250 defaults open upon play of streaming video ad
• 300x60 horizontal ad that remains present during the video ad stream and the following content clip.
1. The user chooses to view streaming content on MSN and clicks a streaming link.
2. The streaming ad plays and the 300x250 banner expands to the left.
a. MSN Video Player will essentially ’hide’ the control buttons during the streaming ad play which will not allow the user the opportunity to stop the stream during the ad. The only option the user will have to close out of the advertisement is by closing the player completely.
b. If the advertisement is stopped or closed, the user will not see the selected content stream..
c. Users do have the option of closing the 300x250 ad while it is expanded. Closing this element will not stop the pre-roll or alter the 300x60
3. Upon completion of the advertising stream, the expanding section will retract back into the player.
4. The selected streaming content plays.
5. The 300x60 horizontal ad that corresponds to the streaming video ad as well as the 300x250, remains present during video stream and following content clip.
6. This combined ad experience appears after every 180 seconds of content have been played. This can be any num
ber of short clips totaling 180 seconds or after a single piece of content longer than 180 seconds. The case where a clip exceeds 180 secs, an ad will be played immediately after the clip is complete.
7. There is no ad shown when the content stream is user generated content from Soapbox.

See illustration below:
49
Video
Expanding Ad Requirements: Flash

o Fully expanded state = 300x250
o Collapsed state = 300x60

• Click command should open new window
• Build in ability to expand/collapse creative (with labels on creative) after initial 15 - 30 second ad play has finished
• Tracking tags should be submitted in the following format:
Example:

http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v2|3323|0|0|%2a|g;6531562;0-0;0;8588164;31-1|1;3756702|3774598|1;;%3fhttp://msn.

gif
• Note that MSN does not support the ability to implement ’ad’/’jump’ tracking tags.
• Built-in ability to expand/collapse creative (with labels on creative) after initial 15-second ad play has finished
• Use single Flash file including the 300x60 banner ad with expanded 300x250
• Audio must never be used to avoid conflict with streaming TV commercial audio
• Animation is limited to first 15 - 30 seconds; continuous looping animation not accepted
o Extremely light (if any at all) animation should be used to avoid conflict with the streaming video portion. This
placement should be used more as a billboard that enhances the streaming video rather than an animated banner
o Interactive functions in the expanding state are recommended to invoke user interaction but must stop if the user collapses the ad
• Flash files require that an FSCommand is embedded in the file. See Flash guidelines below.
• Creative must feature a 1 pixel border (gray [#666666] or black [#000000] is recommended, though any color that clearly distinguishes the ad from the content may be used)
• There will be no down-level experience for the streaming ad. If user does not meet the minimum requirements, the MSN Video Player will not open
• User control, COLLAPSE must only be visible AFTER the first play. User control, EXPAND must only be visible in the 300x60 residual banner state. The user should not have the option to COLLAPSE the expanded portion when the corresponding TV Commercial is playing
• The duration of the Flash asset on the first expansion is controlled by the streaming video commercial and not in the Flash asset itself. (see Flash file structure below) If the streaming commercial is :15 seconds, the Flash ad will remain expanded for the same duration. After the ad is collapsed the user can again expand the ad, but must manually collapse the ad or the ad will remain in the expanded state.
Flash File Structure: If you have not received the .FLA template that includes all of the below code, please contact
your sales representative. FLA Template (Flash MX) – The .FLA template contains all of the necessary MSN code to make
the ad function. Please refer to this spec document and the instructions layer in the Flash file for clarity.

Flash Ad Requirements
The Flash vendor creating the swf file must adhere to specific coding requirements of the Flash file. They are as follows:
1. There will be one Flash file representing the expanded banner (300x240) and the residual banner (300x60) experi
ence. The residual banner component will contain an EXPAND button that, when user initiated, will expand the ad. All clear gif tracking calls will be initiated either by the load of the banner Flash, or by an fscommand() within the banner file that will initiate an http call.
2. Frame 1 of the banner component should not have any animation, sound or graphic.
3. The code that must appear in the invisible button (click-through URL button) on top of the banner file is:
on (release) {
fscommand(”URL1”);
}
4. Code to be used in the EXPAND button
on (release) {
fscommand(”NGAPReplay”, ”NGAPExpand”);
}
5. Code to be used in the COLLAPSE button The FLA template includes this code and the buttons may be custom
ized and relocated, as long as it is clear to the user that they are present and they function
on (release)
{
tellTarget (”/”) {
gotoAndPlay(”NGAPCollapse”);
}
fscommand(”NGAPCollapse”);
}
FSCommand Descriptions
Command: URL1
Parameter: None
Description: This will invoke the URL based on information that is completed at the time of the ad creation.
Example: fscommand(“URL1”) - will go to a URL specified when creating the ad.
Command: NGAPReplay
Parameter: Optional Frame Number
Description: When the replay button of a Flash asset is clicked, the movie will either rewind and start playing at the first
frame, or it will go to the optional frame number and begin playing.
Example: fscommand(“NGAPReplay”, “2”) - will go to frame 2 and begin playing. Since frame 1 is blank, frame 2 should
be designated as the start of the replay.
Frequency control for the streaming ads is such that a user will see an advertisement upon selection of every other
content stream. The streaming ad will also run in parallel with an expanding ad (420x240) which will take over the
meta data content section during the 15 second duration of the advertising stream.
Ad opens into new browser.
Submission must include the following ad components:
1. File Name/Clip Name
2. ISCI Code
3. jpeg files or expanding flash file
4. Click-thru URL
5. Timing
6. Length of Video (in seconds)
7. Aspect Ratio

Text in your ad should

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and

standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an
unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to
make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five

Creative End–to–End Process
1. CLIENT SUBMITS CREATIVE: Photoshop layered files and video(if applicable) are uploaded to Massive FTP.
www.massiveincorporated.com/creativeupload(username / password: upload/upload). Please refer to ad specs for file
dimensions and video formats.
2. CREATIVE REVIEW (1 BUSINESS DAY on average): Depending onlist of games for this campaign the Creative Services
team will resize to various formats, mostly within same ratio, and if necessary make minor adjustments / suggestions
(if font too small to be read in-game, contrast too low, URL not visible etc.)
3. CLIENT PRE-APPROVAL: Client reviews creative. This step is meant to allow client to review creative one last time
before all of the assets are created for the respective titles. Please verify all trademarks, legal and logos are correct.
4. CREATIVE INTEGRATION(3 BUSINESS DAYS on average): Creative Services integrates the pre-approved creative into
each of the titles for this campaign, and takes screenshot samples within the games in an actual “live” gaming
environment on Massive’stest servers (which mirror exactly how the real life gamer will see the ads).
5. CLIENT FINAL APPROVAL: Client receives final media assets (complete assets for all games)and screenshot samples.
Please refer to screenshot samples for realistic visuals of ads in games. Media Assets often feature templates and
textures to adjust to each title’s gaming environment.
6. PUBLISHER APPROVAL: Once final approval is given by the client, the campaign is sent to the game publishers for
final sign-off before being sent live (average APPROVAL TIME 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS).
7. CAMPAIGN GOES LIVE!
