Sending Flash Movie (.swf) in E-mail

Howdy all,

I'm having some trouble getting a Flash movie to send properly in an e-mail message (HTML has been set as the message format). I've tried a few different methods but none seem to work properly and the movie doesn't show up in the e-mail once sent (or before sending for that matter). Does anyone have a method they can recommend that has worked for them? I know the .swf file is fine because I have a link in the e-mail leading to a webpage with the same file and it plays fine there. Only the e-mail display is a problem.

I'm using Outlook 2003 to compose the message and the file is a flash movie (.swf). Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Thanks very much,
Stryker

It's only about 25kb. Just a small animated invitation about 670px X 520px.

Send the link, not the file.

My thoughts exactly... if only it was that easy.
The person who is asking for it to be sent contained in an e-mail is the CEO of the company I work for. Hence, I would like to figure it out for him if possible. I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before, is it just really complex?
