I agree. But if its just a small swf, it might not hurt. Depends on what your sending I think.

Spent some time looking into this years ago. Though it is possible to do (as Karl suggested, you can store the SWF somewhere on-line and embed via an HTML email), I would suggest it's not wise to. The main consideration for me is that I *hate* being forced to download something in my email, no matter how great it may be. Give your users the choice as to whether they want to see the content or not. Also, some email clients automatically block the display of images - I'm assuming SWFs will be the same? What if the user has downloaded their emails and is viewing then offline? What if they don;t have FlashPlayer (or the right version of it) installed...So many variables, so much potential to alienate your target market. Better to provide a link and leave it to your user's discretion...imho Pete _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
