is there any tutorials for iAds???

sdsmith64

ok...so how do i put in iAds in my free games? the iAd behavior just gives a choice of top banner or bottom banner. do i put that in a actor or just on the background in the scene? How big are the banners? Also do i set it up like i did with GameCenter in iTunes connect? (i signed a contract for it already) TshirtBooth, do you have any tutorials on this? ....thanks, Steve

All you do is place the banner and thats it.In itunes set the iads for the app.

Its not like in xcode which requires quite a few lines of code.Gamesalad is just drag and drop.

It really is that easy
Just drop it in

ok...so if i have a scene for the high score (lets just say....) I just put the behavior on the background for that scene and check top or bottom .....and that's it?

johnydee

yes, but it dosen't go in the background it will cover whatever area you put it over.

ok so does it go in a actor on that scene? and if so.... how big should the actor be (pixel size)?

johnydee

no you just put it in the area you want and it will cover whatever its over so if you dont want it covering something in the top,dont put it in the top.And same for the bottom.And once you put it in the scene.Test it on your device and make you you have internet connection so the ad will pop out and you will see how its coming out.

It doesn't matter if you put in an actor thats not even on the scene or burried under a bunch of other actors. It will always appear on top of everything in the location you choose.

Also heres some good old GS wiki info.

iAd Sizes are 320x50 for portrait and 480x32 for landscape.

Not sure on the iPad sizes

Also when your app gets submitted you have to go in and activate iAds for that specific app before it is approved. Otherwise the ads will not display.
