How do I show both admob banner and interstitial in the same activity? Heres what I tried.

In scene:show I call the following to show the banner and it works.

ads.show( "banner", {appId="ca-app-pub-bannerID"} )

I now want to show an interstitial every time a button is pressed. This button does not exit the activity. Its still the same activity. So inside the button function I call

ads.show( "interstitial", {appId="ca-app-pub-interstitialID"} )

notice the different appIds. Interstitial does not show. Instead the banner refreshes itself.

I also tried

ads.hide() ads.show( "interstitial", {appId="ca-app-pub-interstitialID"} )

Same result. Banner refreshes. How can I solve this? Also the banner should still be visible when the interstitial ad is closed. 

I could use another adnetwork such as chartboost but that is for pro subscribers. Any way to get around this?
