Sending flash Christmas card

[gchen]

How do i embbed a flash Christmas card in an email?

I tried sent out an html email and only some web based email can view it. most of other web mail are not and none of email client can review it.

i am not sure why, isn't it the same as a JPG file or something that brower or email client should be able to view so long as the flash viewer plug-in installed?

Some email clients disable .swf viewing for performance and spam reasons. You'll have to send a link like egreetings.com does.

well the trick is in the html. You have to set it so that it has a background of a static picture. Then on the foreground, you would embed the swf.

Hope this helps.

i have already tried using a jgp for background then embed a transparent swf. it works for certain web based email becase they fully support html. but no luck with any of those email cient such as outlook.

i guess i have to use a link as fizzak recommended.

Thank you folks!
