Ari Paparo - November 5th, 2007. Hmmm, it's June 08 and DoubleClick still doesn't offer any AS3 support, not even a workaround. This is just for loading ads into a Flash 9 SWF, forget about netstreams. I've heard it's doable via a shim AS2 wrapper and local connection, but again there is no documentation. Come on doubleclick, use your billions to hire some developers already. “With regard to AS3 support for our DARTShell, we are currently in internal testing and expect to be able to make it available before the new year.” Ari Paparo - November 5th, 2007.

We're in the same trouble - having to integrate dartshell into a flex RIA application. No luck with Doubleclick yet, no official AS3 components available and I'm now trying to convince them to get some prerelease stuff. Bye, Patrick Jesse,

We've finally managed to wrangle an AS3 In-Stream SWC from DoubleClick. It only works in Flash, not FlexBuilder, and you can't even test locally; you have to upload it to a webserver. But dammit if it ain't AS3... worth the pain to me. Works well, too; just like the AS2 one; has like 2 methods; get the FLV and get the companion ad. Dart for Publishers is easier to integrate with mainly because you can get a direct link to the FLV and thus use your own video player, but DFP isn't any good anymore because it has next to no tracking info compared to In-Stream. If I ever get it working in FlexBuilder and/or offline, I'll blog about it. You’re either not emailing sales, or you don’t sound in your email like you have enough bling.

Trying to surf Doubleclick's site for it is a pain. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated. I broke down and sent DC an email and hope they'll get back to me. Basically all I want to do is plainly simple: Run ads in swfs. That's it! For instance, if we are featuring a slide show, we need to be able to run an ad before the user can view it. So far, the easiest solution has been to just load a Brightcove player w/a pre-roll ad and drop the clip as soon as it fires the adComplete event. In my mind, that doesn't seem to be the best way...which leads me to my current search for a solution. It seems like it should be a natural thing to do. Am I oblivious to something? Thanks, anyone.
