You also want to do your editing in the index.template.html file in the 
html-template directory otherwise you will wipe out your edits every time you 
build a release.

I need the ad to be targeted but all I want the user to see is the flex 
application and the ad...to get targeted ads I would need to put some hidden 
(from the viewpoint of the user) text on the page, which most likely violates 
Adsense TOS.

There should be no difference between this and any other html page.
I would check the settings in your google adsense account.
This should work identically because it is identical.

I've tried that, but am not getting targeted ads, just a bunch of PSAs.  Do you 
have a template you could send me? If so, either post here or email:

I need the ad to be targeted but all I want the user to see is the flex 
application and the ad...to get targeted ads I would need to put some hidden 
(from the viewpoint of the user) text on the page, which most likely violates 
Adsense TOS.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adsense

Why don't you just call adsense with Css on the html page and size the flex 
portion appropriately or doesn't that fit with the design?
Easy hack but it works reall good

This is not related to flex... You can try and convince google adSense /
others to provide actionscript/flash APIs.

If you do so, let me know :-)

The issue is the same no matter what kind of dynamic site you create. If 
it is based on Dojo (or any other Javascript framework), Silverlight, 
JavaFX or Flex. The one advantage that we have with Flex is that Adobe 
has gotten an agreement with Google and Yahoo to allow them to read the 
text in a Flex page using their search engine so, a clear way to do this 
should be coming soon if it is not here already. In the meantime, 
putting your SWF in a div and the ad in another div should work. The 
iframe solution would work to.

+1 to Paul.

Adobe is making a programming platform.  Do you C++, C#, ASP.NET, or 
Java have native hooks to advertising networks?  No, nor do I believe 
they should.

That's ridiculous. I think if advertising is a priority, you could let
flex have part of the html page and serve ads there, either under
control of the flex application, using javascript, or just independently
with javascript, with or without an iframe. I think a bit of imagination
is required.

I think most flex developers make money from things that are useful for
something rather than advertising bling.

It seems like Adobe is just shooting themselves in the foot the longer they 
wait to easily incorporate a way for developers (or, ultimately whoever ends up 
owning the website) to generate revenue w/ flex. The more I think about it, the 
more it just seems like flex is a complete waste of time until they get this 
resolved.

It just seems that adobe is shooting themselves in the foot by not providing a 
way for their web developing customers (us!) to make money. Seriously, how do 
people make money with flex? Seems more and more a waste of time for us without
