DoubleClick Rich Media

• Setting up auto-close in the Studio Web UI lets you specify a time limit for how long your creative stays open on a page. After the set time, the creative collapses, even if a user is engaging with it.
• If you decide to use the Studio Web UI to auto-close your creative, set it up when you upload your creatives to Studio. Continue to the next step in this build guide for now, and you'll activate auto-close in Floating creative properties, in the Close time section.

For more control over the auto-close feature, use the Studio API to collapse a Floating ad. For example, if you want your creative to stay open when a user interacts with it, use the API to control the auto-close function.

• To set up auto-close, call the enabler.close(); method at the end of your timer countdown function. Unlike the close button, you don't have to call enabler.reportManualClose(); with this function because this close shouldn't be tracked as a manual close in your reports.
• Alternatively, you can call enabler.close(); at the end of a timeline animation of 15 seconds.
• Another benefit of the Studio API is that you can set up a Floating creative to stay open if a user is interacting with it. Use the StudioEvent.INTERACTION Studio event to do this. This code snippet shows you how:

AS3 code snippet

import com.google.ads.studio.events.StudioEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;

// Create a timer and auto-close after 15 seconds
var timer:Timer = new Timer(15000,1);
timer.start();

var timerCompleteHandler:Function = function(event:TimerEvent):void {
    enabler.close();
}

// Create a function to stop auto-close on user interaction
var onInteractionHandler:Function = function(event:StudioEvent):void {
    timer.stop();
}

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerCompleteHandler);
enabler.addEventListener(StudioEvent.INTERACTION, onInteractionHandler);
