    I have created a flash invitation for a client. I have worked extra hard on this and the result is excellent. The client was very happy until he had to e-mail it to his recipients.

    He is furious because it comes back like 60% of the time. I'm sure that this is because it is compiled as an .exe . I told him that I have no control over mail servers, etc.

    I have zipped the file for him to send out and he says that he still cannot send it.

    The zipped version is just under 900k. He says that it almost always comes back with an "Antigen error".

    Is there a way around this problem besides renaming the file extension prior to sending, and then having the recipient renaming it back to .exe? This option is too complex for novice users.

    Thanks

    Send a link people can use to download the EXE.

    You can't embed the SWF in the email but you can use HTML formatted email to display an SWF file pulled from your server.
