Is this possible???

I want to send a mail (using Outlook) with an invitation made in Flash MX. The thing is that the Receiver will see the flash animation starting "in front of his eyes" (in that mail) and NOT as an Atachement!
Is this possible...how?

You can embed a flash in Outlook Express, and send it to someone with outlook express, and they will see it. But other mails, like Yahoo and AOL, that I know of, will strip that out and they see nothing.

I know that! - the thing is that i try to send the file as HTML Mail but still doesn't work !!!!
I send the HTML file and the SWF as atachements and still not work!
HOW SHOULD I DO THIS THING ?

[jordslaght]

it's for security reasons that most e-mail servers wont allow you to embed flash into an e-mail... similar to why you cannot embed an .swf on this message board.. scripts can automatically spawn malicious pop ups, etc.
The only way to go about it is to attach it to the e-mail and get them to open up the attachment.

The swf has to be on your server. Just upload a page with the movie in it, then just use Send page by E-mail from IE6. All they see is the flash movie in the body of the mail.
