I’m trying to mimic a typical scrolling web page that mixes content and banner adverts of varying sizes.
I’m using scrollable window but not sure which ad plugin will allow me to mix content and ads.
Looking at appodeal, it seems banners can only be top or bottom and not mixed within content.
This is basically true. Corona’s display system is based on OpenGL and those objects, including things like display groups and the scrollView/tableView widgets, are drawn on a specific canvas. Ads live in the native space and are drawn in a different canvas and the two cannot really co-function? So you can’t put ads in a scrollView. Banners are expected to be at the top or bottom of the screen.

Ok, but obviously I can ‘roll my own’ by putting images and links within my scrollview. But then I’d need to call an adserver to get details for the advert. Know if anyone is doing this?
You have to get the ads from the advertiser, which means you have to call their API calls to get ads.
