Guys Im really stuck in a bind....my boss wanted me to create a simple little presentation that would run when people opened up their email in Outlook. I created a simple 25 second intro in Swish ( a Flash type program ) The intro just has Text fade in from a dark background while some basic sound in a wav format loops.......its real simple and I had SWISH export the file in 2 formats. In .HTML format and in .SWF format. But now I really dont know how to INSERT it into an EMAIL so that it automatically plays when people recieve the message. Outlook keeps wanting to just send the presentation as an ATTACHMENT!

Is it even possible to do???


Using Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000.

created the presentation in Swish and exported it into 2 different formats .swf and .html


Can someone PLEASE help me out with some info


thanks alot

1. I'd kill anyone who sent me an email that played sound when I opened it.
2. This is far from highly technical.
3. You can probably hand-craft the necessary HTML wrapper for the flash and have it reference the attached SWF file (yes, it HAS to be attached, you have no choice), assuming outlook allows plugins in emails.
