Rich media company PointRoll has released a new Flash API to standardize and simplify the deployment and creation of rich media advertising.

The PointRoll API will be distributed via the Macromedia Extension Package that can be installed through the Flash extension manager. Rich media ad designers using the PointRoll platform simply click to insert dynamic XML data, multimedia and ad tracking abilities. The API also supports PointRoll-specific features like activities, panel controls and clickTags.

“The PointRoll Flash API gives advertisers and agencies maximum creative flexibility,” said PointRoll CTO Keith Gelles in a statement.” The PointRoll Flash API instantly puts the power of PointRoll’s most popular functionality into the hands of our partner agencies for those who want to be more hands on in building rich media units, while minimizing code handling hurdles.”

The API lets ad designers control dynamic content, video quality, syncing between a/v content and non-a/v content, and it reduces the need to rely on code that only functions on certain versions of Flash.

Along with the API, PointRoll has also added support for Flash 8 tracking in IE and Firefox, simplified the PointRoll control panel, and enhanced support for video.

Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?
Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.

Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.

Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.

Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.

See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
