Call Vast Tag Later (Or Leave Blank Variable)?

Right now I have:

,advertising: {
client: 'vast'
,'skipoffset':5
,tag: ['https://v.vasturl.com/']
}

During instance.setup. But, is it possible to create the VAST tag later or through different javascript? I want to do an if/else, on whether to include VAST or not. Or, can I at least use a javascript variable for the VAST tag URL? So something like:

var finalvast = 'https://v.vasturl.com/';

,advertising: {
client: 'vast'
,'skipoffset':5
,tag: ['finalvast']
}

And, if no variable created -- making it blank -- the vast will just be skipped?

Cheers
Ryan

Hello Ryan,

I’m a bit confused as to what you’re trying to build. I understand you want to decide the vast url at a later point, but why can’t it be decided prior to setting up the player?

Also, I’d recommend we take this conversation over email. Please submit a ticket through the dashboard and I’ll be right with you.
