is it possible to embed Flash into an HTML email? if it is, how do i do it? I already know how to do HTML emails and I know that imagery has to be located on a server and I tried that with a .swf, but it won't work.

This is because email client's don't have an option to display flash in html

Howdy and Welcome... :)

If I get an email that contains a SWF file which will ask me to install the Flash Player or to turn on the ActiveX control to read it, that's the behavior of the virus whether you meant it or not... and not many people have it turned on by default...

You can't "turn it on" because there's no such an option :)
