DoubleClick and other ad servers often embed Flash movies with the click through url as a flashvar named "clickTag". Here is the code in ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0 to use the clickTag flashVar.

ActionScript 2.0

 
on (release) {
    var url:String = "";
    url = _level0.clickTag || _level0.ClickTag || "";
    getURL(url, "_blank");
}
 

ActionScript 3.0

 
var _clickTag:String = "";
if(stage.root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag) {
     _clickTag = stage.root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag;
}
private function handle_btnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     ExternalInterface.call("window.parent.open", _clickTag);
} 
 
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handle_btnClick);
 

Test your swf by adding the clickTag flashVar to your embed code.
