Canned Banners now runs on AS3

Today we converted our ad builder and templates from Actionscript 2.0 to Actionscript 3.0. And for all you Flash-o-philes, our banners now run on Flash Player 10.0 (they were running on 8.0).

This is a very important stepping stone for us to make several improvements to Canned Banners, including:

  • Enabling instant export of your finished banner SWF files
  • Making enhancements to our photo/logo cropping tool that will allow you to crop all of an image, part of an image, or whatever floats your boat (right now if you make a crop we don’t like, you get a bummer of an error message)

A few other improvements that went out with today’s release:

  • We added some website enhancements that should speed up response time throughout cannedbanners.com
  • We fixed a bug so that partners using our Private Label solution can duplicate saved banners
