Hi,

I have an html file which has an swf flash movie embedded in it. When I open
it in excel, it works fine and the movie is viewable. However, when I want to
send it out as an email, everything but the embedded swf is viewable, i.e.
where the swf should be instead there is a blank white space!
And yet when viewing the html file through a browser (IE6) it is perfectly
fine.
Here's the affected code - as rewritten by excel...

<tr height=17 style='height:12.75pt'
<td height=17 class=xl26 width=19

I've tried playing around with the filepaths and attaching the .emz file
(which i believe to be a zip of the movie file) excel created and refers to
in the above code - but to no avail?!?!

Please can someone help.

thanks in advance.
