html link adds content?

Apologise in advance, I've done some searching but it's a weird question and I haven't been able to find anything.


Basically, I'm create an email marketing piece and I can make each email personal to the recepient. What I want to do is have a link in the email, to a website that when they click on it, it displays their specific information (just a name).

Like "Hi [persons name] welcome to...." etc. I want to have this bit of info inside a flash document.

Is this possible to do ? I know I may be way over my head on this one !

Sorry to be a pain in the rear-end, but does anyone have any ideas on this ^ ??

All I can give you is vague answer. I know that each email has to be customized for each recipient. That way, each link to the website can have data appended to the url. Ex: http://www.mysite.com/page.asp?name=John. Then when the page comes up, the asp page will generate a dynamic reference to the Flash movie. You probably seen it. It has <embed> and all that good stuff. Well in that piece of html, you can pass values to the flash movie to use. Pass the Flash movie the name you appended in the url.

I know I'm being general but I've never done it. I have read about it somewhere and that's what needs to happen.

Thanks nthpixel, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. At least I have some more information to start search some more with!
