Question

How to embedded flash on email body ,

Using php
(email function)

Answer 1

You can certainly embed a Flash .swf within an email as an attachment. The process is identical to attaching an image for in-line use. However, there’s no way to get the Flash movie to actually play within the page.

If you were attaching an image, you’d do this, using PHPMailer:

$m = new PHPMailer();
$m->AddEmbeddedImage('/path/to/image.jpg', 'picture', 'picture', 'base64', 'image/jpeg');

And within the HTML body of the mail, you’d refer to the picture like this:

<img src="cid:picture" alt="The embedded picture" />

You can embed the Flash .swf using the exact same call sequence. However, there is no way to actually get the movie to play. The Flash plugin does not understand/honor the “cid:” method and so cannot read the .swf data from within the email body. At most you can attach the .swf and a copy of the offline Flash player .exe for the email recipient to save and run off their local machine.
