A playable ad is also a html5 game basically. What is different you are looking to achieve than what you did for facebook instant games.

A playable Ad follows many rules and for many networks you need implement MRAID routines and integrate network’s API. (see ironsource, facebook, charboost, applovin etc…) and a bit networks want html game inline.

ect:
1.How to export HTML 5? Is it “web mobile” in build seletion?
2.How to redirect user to google play or ios store? I haven’t found any cocos creator API do it?
3.When i complete the HTML 5, so where to put this file?

My company is specialized in Playable ADS (and games) you can find our work in https://www.smallthingstudios.com and from our experience:

  1. I’m afraid that cocoscreator for now is not compatible for make playable ads (we hope this feature comes early :P)

  2. to redirect on store, you need call javascript API for each networks. For sample, google play want when you press CTA (the install button)

             if(typeof ExitApi !== 'undefined' && ExitApi != null) {

             console.log('*** use ExitApi ***');
             ExitApi.exit();
             return;
         }

this for google. For other network you call other API.
3. you need contact the ads networks… for facebook you need load your html file in https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager/ for google, this is the test page https://h5validator.appspot.com/adwords/asset.

Hello, for quite some time I’m trying to make this solution work. Does it work in your case?

I made some errors gone, but now I’m getting:
“utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xb4 in position 3: invalid start byte”
in integrate_res_in_html.py
on line: file_object.read()

Thank you very much for your time!
