Hi... I may be way off beam here as I am so such a newbie.. *but I wondered if when you publish your movie.. you also publish an HTML page.. *then use the HTML for your e.mail..

Just a thought is all.. *prolly a daft one*

Hope you get your answers!

i actually tried that, but it does not seem to work. when I check hotmail's source code of the e-mail, it has the embed object code removed for some reason...

anyone else have other ideas??

thanks

Try using the html idea, but instead of imbedding the file, try calling it from a page on the net that has the movie loaded onto it.

let's hope this works

[technomania]

how do you call it, though??

thanks,

Call the file as you would an image from the net. When you upload a webpage with graphics, your html page calls the graphic from the specified place on the net. Upload your swf onto the net, and then in your html document that you are sending through e-mail, include something like this:

<p><embed width="128" height="128" src="http://www.yourpage.com/index.swf"></p>

I'm sorry... i think i just totally contradicted myself here.

Ummm... try the option above, and if that doesn't work, then i'm not too sure

I'm not too sure anymore. There is one more thing you can do though. Try looking for a webpage that sends flash e-cards. I've seen some that display the animation right on the screen with the right permissions. I don't have the URL though. Look for that.

Otherwise, put a link on the e-mail msg to the flash movie.

Sorry

I'm out

Good Luck

thanks, i'll keep an eye out for those cards
