How can I do this (integrate Google AdSense) in an AIR app?

I’m working on a Flex app that takes the entire page with very little room for HTML iframe. I guess this is a nice workaround I can use, but it’d be nice to have a way to embed AdSense natively in Flex.

Hi all – especially Ryan Campbell.

I try use iFrame component succesfully. Everithing works fine on my local PC.
But and I have 2 big problems:

1. When I put iFrame component in my flex app, I run on my local PC well. But if I put this swf on webserver, my browser starting load swf and will stop in 3/4 of preloader and stop working. I dont know why, becouse the same browser runing on my desktop working on local server well. If I remove iFrame component from start state and put his in other state in app (after user loggin), the iFrame component doesnt show his source. I repeat – this happen on web server. On my local server working well.

2. If I put iFrame in my app, it will cause that all my combobox, that are fullfilled by arrayCollection will be empty. I dont know why. And again – in my local server runing well, but on the webserver:
- iFrame component doesm’t show his source
- comboboxe’e are empty

Have somebody some idea, how to resolve this problem?

I’m unhappy becouse of this. On my local server run nice, on webserver doesn’t work. Result – I can’t use this for me.

Thanks for all advice’s.

I have tried this technique using the latest version of the IFrame component available on code.google.com library. But I’m having problem:
I set the ’src’ property of the IFrame component to the url from the generated code, but when I ran the app, the browser keeps trying to download the file “show_ad.js” and the browser blocks the download.

Question: The generated AdSense code contains 2 script blocks. The first block has some variables that seem commented out and the second block has the ’src’ url. I set the ’src’ property of the IFrame, but what do I do with the other variables? Do I need to add them IFrame component? Do I need to add some or all of the autogen code to my html-template file at the bottom?

Thanks for all your time!!

hi guys,
I’m extremely new to flex, but I made a little app that just shows a page on the net and it shows my google adsense ad.

It works just fine, although I have no idea if I’m getting paid for the clicks, yet.

If you put your adsense code into an iframe, then google won’t be able to find out what your site is about.

@Ben – I’m not 100% sure if this is ok with Google’s TOS, but no complaints so far.

@Rich – I added the following to the buildContainerList function in IFrame.as:

this.addEventListener(”xChanged”, function(event:Event):void { moveIFrame(); });
this.addEventListener(”yChanged”, function(event:Event):void { moveIFrame(); });

Thanks for posting this, it’s been a life saver. The only question I have regards resizing the browser. Where exactly are you putting the event listeners?

Thanks again!
