I'm looking for a way to grab the URL from a VAST linear video ad. I'm using the onLinearAdStart() listener, but I haven't found what I'm looking for in the object it returns.
Get click-through URL on a linear ad through javascript API?

Hi, just following up on this...
I've checked in the changes that ensure that the ad object now has all the click through URLs and other tracking events passed back in the Javascript callback.
The changes are on the latest development version checked into the OVA developer repository @ http://developer.longtailvideo.com/ova
The versions that have this change are:
OVA for AS3 v0.6.0 RC3 (build 128)
OVA for Flowplayer - v0.6.0 RC3 (build 150)
OVA for JW 5.x - v0.5.0 RC3 (build 150)
OVA for JW 4.x - v0.5.0 RC3 (build 90)
Hope that helps,
Paul

Oh, excellent! I was able use a regular expression on the VAST response to find the clickthrough URL in the meantime, but your fix is cleaner, so I'll make good use of it. Thanks!
Hi Keith,
You are right - that info is missing - actually that was an oversight. I've just looked at the code and realised that I didn't add in the info from the TrackedVideoAd class..
I can add this in but I'm in the middle of a really major change that will take another 24 hours.. are you ok if I check in this additional info within the next say 24 hours or so?
