    link for banner problems

    Hoping a flash guru can please help.

    This is for a commercial site. I have a page of flash banners that can be downloaded by affiliates of the company.

    The affiliate has a ID number. The banner is to be used for click-throughs.

    That is that when a potential customer clicks on the banner it takes them direct to our company's site from the affiliate.

    This ID number is needed so that the affiliate gets their referral fee.

    Similiar to the HTML code <a
    href="http://www.xxx.com/from=sr-000000"><img
    src="http://gs.cdnow.com/MN/xxx.com.buyweb_credit/upgrade/graphics/xswfb_468x60.gif"
    alt="Enter Here" border="0" width="468"
    height="60"></a>

    This ID needs to be included when the banner is downloaded from our site automatically. If not can anyone suggest how else can it be done.

    Can anyone please help! I'm desperate.

    All help much appreciated

    The most common way to do this is to have the instructions on how to add the affiliate tag to the banner on the page where the banners are. Any webmaster knows how to add them. Check out some webmaster links at a few gameing sites, you'll learn more about it than you ever wanted to know.

    One of the more advanced ways is to generate the banner with their aff code already in it. You can make banners with links in them in ImageReady, but I have no idea how you'd generate them dynamically.

    If you're using perl or php, you can ask them to enter their affiliate id, then have the form print the full code for them to copy and paste, inluding there id.

    Feel me to email me directly if you need more help with this.
