is it possible to have flash run on an email, or have a frame in a email directed to a webpage?

I want to send an e-mail out with a flash file playable within the email when it opens. If it’s not possible is there a way to have an iframe to open within the email & show a webpage?

it is possible but i’m not sure if u can do that without an email client, the easy way for you to do that would be to email the link to a site u uploaded the flash to and he’ll just see it online, you can even make a pass that only the user u want knows the pass

Absolutely not. The only thing that email HTML can to is display pictures from a web site. No active content will work. You must link to a web page and go there.

If you make a standard HTML e-mail and embed the Flash object, and make its source a publicly available Web site, yes, you can send an e-mail with Flash in it.
I assume you know how to write a Web page and embed a Flash file into a Web page.

Possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Email is meant to be a text medium. Adding flash to your email would drive me bonkers. There’s no good reason for adding a flash banner to your email. It will do nothing but make the email take a longer to send, receive, and open.
