Hi

I have recently embedded a flash movie into an email and obviously when it's opened the relevant swf is loaded from a webpage. BUT a lot of the people i send it to only have a quick connection to the internet to download mail. This means that they never get the swf and the email remains blank.
How can I attach the swf to the email and get the "object" to call it from it's position attached to said mail? By this, i mean instead of going off to it knows that the swf is attached to the email! I hope this makes some sort of sense.

Cheers

In my understanding of this, if you're not connected the .swf won't show up!
Send them a projector file (.exe), although they may not like that idea either! Regards,

+ a lot of businesses have virus scanning software and will automaticaly remove attachments and or not allow exe files to run Regards

Thanks Oldnewbie but it was the problems with the .exe that started all this. Nothing was getting through! I'm sure it must be possible to call the swf that is attached to the email I just don't know how it would be done.

The .swf ain't in the e-mail right? It's a linking to a file on your server! Not connected... No navigation! No linking! Regards,

originally the swf was online and the email linked to it - but this wasn't working.. so... i wanted to attach the swf to the email and get the email (script) to link to the swf attached to the email.
