Since my computer crash I have had to get the new one up to par. I downloaded the new IE6.0 (mistake #1) and along with it came a newer version of Outlook Express. I am trying to ad a banner (same as the one on my messages here) to my outgoing mail. But it doesn't work right. I only get a black box. No animation. What could the problem be?

Are you setting the URL to an Absolute URL in the HTML? That could be one possible problem. I have also heard that MS had greatly limited the types of files that Outlook would open. You could check those settings.

It seems that I remember a tutorial on this subject.
I looked at KoolMovers but didn't see it.
here is the html code i have for the banner:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000">
<CENTER>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id=banner width=300 height=40 codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.chadsanborn.com/banner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--
var ShockMode = 0;
if (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin) {
if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"])
ShockMode = 1;
} if (ShockMode ) {
document.write('<embed src="http://www.chadsanborn.com/banner.swf"');
document.write(' width=300 height=40 bgcolor="#000000" quality="high" loop="true"');
document.write(' TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/">');
document.write('</EMBED>');
} else if (!(navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)) { document.write('<IMG SRC="nonflash.gif" width=300 height=40');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT><NOEMBED><IMG SRC="nonflash.gif" width=300 height=40 BORDER=0></NOEMBED><NOSCRIPT><IMG SRC="nonflash.gif" width=300 height=40 BORDER=0></NOSCRIPT></OBJECT>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It is just as KM would have written it for me when selecting to create an SWF W/ the html for it.
This code is in a file on my hard drive. the outlook program has a place for signatures {tools-options-signtrs.}
You can then add a text signatue or a file. I chose file and linked that to the banners html file.

The Tutorial for that one is actually on the KoolMoves site itself.
But yes, that should work.... If not then its Outlooks new Securitry that is stoping it.
