is it possible to send out an email with a flash move playing in the message window - as opposed to a link?

It used to be. Not anymore due to security risk.

Here's a link with a chart showing how few platforms will support it:

It only works in apple mail. When embedding the flash, do it like a regular HTML page but use a global URL when you embed so when you send it on it'll be found on the server

You have to load the swf to a server.
Embed code as html in the email with an absolute url to the swf file on the server.- that's the bit i can't work out - how to embed the html in entourage.forcetwelve

entourage is shit for editing html in emails

Just paste the code in like normal but with absolute urls for all links. You have to send the email as an html.
- yeah i've tried. doesn't work. just comes back as code in the message. thx anyway.forcetwelve
- yep that wont work - need to import the html and i dont think entourage allows itckentish
- Because almost all email clients no longer support flash embed as mentioned above.bzsaw
