Flash scripts embeded in Messages
I send out a newsletter created in WORD. I have embedded a Flash script in
the newsletter. In Word, the flash "movie" plays as designed. Security is set properly for ActiveX controls to allow the Flash script in Outlook. I include the Flash "movie" as an attachment along with the newsletter. To test, I sent the message to myself. The message is received, ActiveX allows the flash script, and the "borders" for the Flash "movie" appear in the newsletter - but, when opening the message, the Flash "movie" will not play, and all Flash "controls" are grayed-out. I'm using Office Pro 2003 (with Word and Outlook). Any ideas? |

No idea if this will be of any help, but where is the movie hosted? Is it on
your local machine or on the web? Also is the path to your movie set up to look on your local machine or the web? Give it a try by uploading the movie and then using the specific path to it eg http//www.yourhost.com/yourmovie.swf and see if that gives you any better results.

Thank you for your response - it's appreciated! I've tried your suggestion
(a good one, by the way) with the exact same results. The Flash script is both on my local drive and a remote internet site. I've tried both the local drive and the remote site location as the source for the Flash script. I send the file in Outlook to myself, as a test. The message is delivered in Outllook, ActiveX is set to allow the Flash script. When I open the message there is no Flash display, ( but the "outline" of where the Flash display should be is visible ), and when I click on the movie the Flash controls are grayed-out.
