May be a little tricky, but what you could do is have the swf housed on your server and reference it in your html email. If they have display html enabled, your swf should load fine. With the SWFs object/embed other content options, you can set a regular JPEG with a link if they don't have flash or it doesn't work in the email, that sends them to your swf online.
if all else fails.

Or possibly you can do a file attach and have the swf sent with the message and with the swf placement in your html email, reference the attachment in the message.. When you attach the file, look for the PHP mailer script that sends the binary data attachment. May help. You could make a link in your message that just downloads your attachment to their HD. Most email programs have a tmp folder to store attachments that you could reference.
Oh, and set your swf security priority to network only.
Although, I think this may be doing a little too much though.

Np. That example is very basic.
There is a lot of things missing. Like checking variables before sending.
You can also expand it to utilize a database.
Then you create a email list page, select the persons you want to email to and hit send. With some modifications, you can have it send to everyone all at once.

Happy coding!

Thanks Karl, though I should say I was pretty comfortable with the generation of emails through a PHP mailer. In this case the project is pretty simple - generic flash animation which isn't personalised and I anticipate I won't be at all involved in mailing it out.

My main query was really more about the best way to deliver the flash animation in the email content and the answer so far seems to be what the only way I knew before - via a link.
