Re: FLASH: Flash as an attachment

It's probably the EXE.  I know this cuts off anyone not on 

a windows machine, but the alternatives are not much better.

You can't simply include the SWF because normal users 

won't have the player for it.  You could include the SWF in 

an HTML e-mail, but many mail clients don't support HTML 

mail.  There is also the possibility of just providing a link to

a site with your SWF on it, and hoping that gets passed around.

I think you'll get a low distribution of a URL though: the 

average person needs a full-fledged program in her/his e-mail to

actually get her/him to look at your work (Links are too 

easily ignored).


I think the EXE is the best way, despite the problems.  It seems

that most of these campaigns have used the EXE in the past too.
