VPAID non-linears with bad API version block out display completely

[paul]

when a VPAID ad cannot be started because it doesn't have a valid API, it keeps the display blacked out until the overlay time is complete:

But in this case, it seems like the ad is still running?

Actually, this only happens when Flash and HTML5 mode are both enabled as follows:

"ads": {

"overlays": {

"regions": {

"flash": [

{

"region": "auto:bottom",
"enable": true

}

],
"html5": [

{

"region": "bottom",
"enable": true,
"preferred": true

}

]

}

},
"schedule": [

{

"startTime": "00:00:03",
"duration": 10,
"tag": " http://openx.openvideoads.org/openx/www/delivery/fc.php?script=bannerTypeHtml:vastInlineBannerTypeHtml:vastInlineHtml__amp__zones=overlay:0.0-0%3D28__amp__nz=1__amp__source=__amp__r=R0.6574848522432148__amp__block=0__amp__format=vast__amp__charset=UTF-8"

},
{

"startTime": "00:00:15",
"duration": 40,
"tag": " http://www.adotube.com/kernel/vast/vast.php?omlSource=http://www.adotube.com/php/services/player/OMLService.php?avpid=pctozxH__amp__ad_type=overlays__amp__platform_version=vast20as3__amp__vpaid=1__amp__rtb=0__amp__publisher=adotube.com__amp__title=[VIDEO_TITLE]__amp__tags=[VIDEO_TAGS]__amp__description=[VIDEO_DESCRIPTION]__amp__videoURL=[VIDEO_FILE_URL]"

Fixed 1.0.1 RC2 (Build 15)

In VASTController.onDisplayNonLinearAd() the logic directing the display to internal or external was flawed resulting in two calls to the internal overlay display controller.

if((overlayAdDisplayEvent.displayMode == OverlayAdDisplayEvent.DISPLAY_MODE_HTML5) && (overlayAdDisplayEvent.isVPAIDAd() == false) && ExternalInterface.available) {

changed to:

if(overlayAdDisplayEvent.displayMode == OverlayAdDisplayEvent.DISPLAY_MODE_HTML5) {

if(overlayAdDisplayEvent.isVPAIDAd() == false) {

if(ExternalInterface.available) {

displayNonLinearAdExternally(overlayAdDisplayEvent);

}

}

}
else displayNonLinearAdInternally(overlayAdDisplayEvent);
