Interstitial ads

This section will present a list of ways to add an interstitial ad to your webpage.

Placement tags

Interstitial ads cover the whole screen and usually display above all other HTML content - thus they are best suited for mobile web pages.

To add an interstitial ad and show it when the page first loads, add it as a placement tag anywhere in your code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ads.superawesome.tv/v2/ad.js?placement=30474&test=true&interstitial=true"></script>

Notice the interstitial=true parameter.

Close action

AwesomeAds Web SDK creates a close button (close image in the corner of the screen) which removes the advert and related elements from the document.

This action will also send a cross-domain post message to the top-most window that can be used to trigger custom code or close the main context.
In order to catch the message, please implement a receiver on the Window object, e.g.:

<script>
    if (window.addEventListener) {
        window.addEventListener("message", onMessage, false);
    } else if (window.attachEvent) {
        window.attachEvent("onmessage", onMessage, false);
    }

    function onMessage(event) {
        if (event.data && event.data.function === 'aa_close_button') {
            console.log('* Received message from SA Web SDK. Interstitial ad has been closed.');
            console.log(event.data);
            // call your methods here e.g. foo();
        }
    }
</script>

Here is the console output in the Developer Tools in the Chrome browser:

Javascript object

If you want to add an interstitial as a Javascript object (and trigger it on the push of a button, for example):

<script type="text/javascript">

    (function() {

        var inter = new AwesomeInterstitial(30474, true);

    })();

</script>

Where the AwesomeInterstitial parameters are:

  • the id of the placement
  • whether testing is enabled or not
