A new problem has been identified for people upgrading to Flash player 6. We cannot view any SWF movies embedded in Outlook Express emails! I can report that this is causing a major uproar at the many email stationery newsgroups and forums.
If anyone knows of a fix, or new SWF HTML embedding script for Flash 6, please post. Any help would be useful.
The problem only affects emails, SWF embedded in Web pages are ok.
Thanks,
Duir.

I'm not very good with HTML scripts, but I exported a HTML page from MX just to get the script. My guess at this stage is that there needs to be a "detect Flash player 6" thingy in the embedding script for Flash player 6 to be able to play SWFs embedded in emails. Here's the script.

I can only hope that noone has their email clients configured to allow javascript to execute in an HTML email !!

Those who do, do so at their own behest and pleasure, and in the knowledge of security dangers. There are thousands of people making HTML stationery. Those people will never disable JavaScript or AvctiveX, they install firewalls, Trojan removers and good antivirus.
How about answering my question someone please?
