Importing a flash movie into an outlook e-mail?

[sle2002]

Good morning.

I am trying to import or paste a flash movie/swf into an e-mail to send out to invite people to our website. I have set up a html page with the swf in it and the link to the site underneath the movie. I try to copy and paste it into the e-mail and the movie doesn't come up.

Obviously i am missing a step or doing something completely wrong. Can any one enlighten me on how this is done. I have seen it done before, so i know there is a way.

Thank

make sure that when you copy then paste the flash bit into the html page you add the full url to the flash.
when flash publishes you will find the swf referenced as me.swf in a couple of places...change that to

http://www.mysite.com/folder/me.swf

if that aint it post again...i have done this many times and thats the most common mistake i make.

I have tried both of the tutorial and adding the full path to the file and it still isn't working. I am not sure what i am doing wrong.

try the technote and see if spot something you missed

That technote helped a lot. The key was uploading the page to a site so you actually have a url for it. Then you just save the page as a favorite and then there is an option to send the page as an e-mail.

Anway, thanks everyone for there help!
