Cmp star integration

(AM_2012) #1

I’ve registered on cpmstar and received link to “cpmstarPreplayFlashKit1.02.zip”

time to integrate it in my game…

the problem is - i work in FlashDevelop not in FlashIDE and i use FlexSDK.

thus readme from cpmkit is pretty useless and i can’t do anything with included .fla files.

have anyone used flashpunk+flashdevelop+flex+cpmstar ?

or may be someone knows about any tutorial or at least “cpm package without .fla” link?

or haven’t i understand something and i need only AdLoader.as to make cpm work?

p.s. sorry for my english - not native speaker :smile:

You only need AdLoader.as to get it working :slight_smile:

Been a while since I’ve done it myself, but the code looked something like:

var adBox: MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var CPMStarContentSpotID:String = "XXXX"; //spot id
var ad: DisplayObject = new CPMStar.AdLoader(CPMStarContentSpotID);
adBox.addChild(ad);

Remember to import CPMStar.*; first!

ha! this was quick!

thank you - it’s working!

i guess i was to afraid to try it self :smile:

now i only need to tune it to make it look and work ok, but i think i’ve seen some info on this topic in the internet.

Nice one! I still get $2-3 every month from a game I put up with CPMStar 3 years ago! I call it my ‘chocolate bar fund’.

@Ultima2876 I’m curious, how much does CPMStar give you? How many views do you get per month?

and what is CPMStar? :0

@fedyfausto CPMStar is an ad system. Basically, if you have a game that you’re ready to release, you implement CPMStar and it will show an ad in a box - when your players click the ad and perhaps buy something/sign up to the service being advertised, you get some cash paid to you.

@Ultima2876 I’m curious, how much does CPMStar give you? How many views do you get per month?

@SHiLLySiT the game in question gets about 8000 plays per month (and has done for the last 12 months). There are a couple of months where it has had around 10000 and a couple where it’s a bit closer to 6000, but 8000 is the average.

Last 4 CPMStar payments and number of plays for FlashPlok:

June: 9431 plays, $3.36 May: 10641 plays, $2.53 April: 7686 plays, $15.21 (!!) March: 8712 plays, $4.91

Didn’t even notice that April payment go into my PayPal account - someone must’ve bought a car or something, haha.

Anyway, excluding that large April payment to avoid a skewed result, I’ve looked at the last 12 months and calculated a CPM value; I got 0.42. So I’m getting about 42 cents for every thousand plays.

only if a user click or with view? :3

(Ultima2876) #9

CPMStar works based on clickthroughs, however on average you still get a much better CPM (cents per thousand views) than with Mochi. For all intents and purposes, it’s still paying more per thousand views than if it really was paying you per view.

I was just curious because I’ve been told many times before that CPMStar gives better CPM, but I get much more views using Mochi (not to mention their dev tools are extremely helpful). Here’s the Mochi stats to one of my games. When I first released it, I was getting 8k-10k views per month, however, its been slowly growing to about ~60k views per month.

Ah, see, I’ve never done any distribution myself. All of my games so far have been sponsored.
