Other Information
- CoolSavings can work with client-supplied creative assets in the following file types:
- Adobe Illustrator v 10.0 or lower (.eps, .ai) – Vector file type
- Bitmap (.bmp)
- GIF and animated GIF (.gif)
- JPEG (.jpg)
- PNG (.png)
- Flash Player (.swf)
- Windows Metafile (.wmf) – Vector file type
- WAV audio (Windows) (.wav)
- MP3 audio (.mp3)
- Note: the power of the flash rendering engine lies in the scalability and relatively small file size of vector based graphics. Using gif, jpg, bmp or png files will greatly increase the size of a flash movie and will not scale well when made larger than original.
- Files may not exceed 100k. A pre-loading screen must accompany all files whose initial download to the browser exceeds 15k, or which contain individual frames in excess of 15k.
- Please allow CoolSavings 2-3 days to review Flash creative submissions.
- Compatibility
All Flash creative should be pre-tested on Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers version 4.0 and above for both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
- Audio
All files must contain clearly indicated “Off” buttons if audio is used. Do not use overly loud sounds.
- Actions
Most actions must be user initiated. Pop-up windows and redirects cannot occur unless the user clicks a button or link.
- Forms
The use of forms or inline transactions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- Default Graphic
A graphic or HTML code must be provided as a default for users that do not have the appropriate plug-in. Users must not be required to download any plug-in to view Flash creative. Maximum file size for default graphic/HTML is 40k.
- File Serving
A 3rd party may not serve files. CoolSavings will serve all files.
- Detection Script
CoolSavings will use internal browser “sniffer” code in its pages. Client provided sniffer code is not required.
- Right to Refuse
CoolSavings reserves the right to reject or request edits for all creative work that does not meet these requirements or testing procedures.
