    What prophetone says, but here's a breakdown of what it is to make it clearer. Essentially, clickTag is so that you don't have to hardcode a URL inside of Flash and have to republish the FLA if you want to change the URL later on. It's a variable whose value can be changed outside of Flash via FlashVars in the object/embed tag.

    You just add the clickTag.
    AS2> getURL(_root.clickTag, "_blank"); which goes onto the button onRelease function.

    You don't need the http stuff, I never add that in.

    The tracking link is what gets sent to the trafficking/media team (or the site that's hosting the ad, if there isn't a separate team for that). That's what the clickTag will point to and the window it will spawn when the button is clicked.
