Flash :: SWF And Outlook Signatures

SWF And Outlook Signatures
Greets all,

Maybe someone here can solve this small problem for me. I have an html file and an swf file; both files are in the same directory. I would like to insert the html file as an outlook signature. I have inserted the file as far as I can tell because I can see the swf file in the preview window. However when I click on the "new message" button all I see is a black box without the swf effect.

This basically tells me that it is able to grab the swf file because the email message body is white while the swf body background is black, but somewhere along the way it loses the actual text effect that I have.

Any ideas and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All the best

Outlook Golf Signatures
Greetings,

My first post here so be gentle.:-)

I am using Flash 4 and would like to create some interesting golf signatures within Outlook Express mail, can someone direct me to a tutorial site that may include some golf type swf files, looking for inspiration.

Regards,
John

GetURL/mailto - Outlook Vs Outlook Express
here's the line:
mailtoString="mailto:bob@SomeURL.com?subject=test&body=mybody";
getURL(mailtoString);

it works fine with Outlook - pops up Outlook, properly populated - address in the To:field, Subject in the subject field, body in the body.

however, with Outlook Express - the e-mail application comes up just fine,the address is in the "To:" field, but... the subject and body are empty.

is this an Outlook Express issue? Is there a workaround?

tia,
ferd

Outlook Vs. Outlook Express
Just a newbie here with a small question- Why does the getURL method work properly for MS Outlook and not for Outlook Express? For Express all of the other informaiton (i.e. subject, body) is placed in the address line when the application is called. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Swf Signatures?
Hi,
Just registered with Flashkit...seems like a hell of a following here. I hope I'm not being to much of a newbie.
But I would like to know if it is possible to add a swf to your email signature in outlook and outlook express ..the same way you add a picture. I tried to just drop an swf in and html file but it didn't work.
It seems it should work....maybe I am just to much of a newbie.
Thanks
I hope I can contribute to this forum in the future but I am afraid for now I will just leech until I learn some more tricks.

Signatures...
Hi, can anybody tell me how they go about putting a Flash animation in their signature for this forum?

First of all, it says it can't be more than 500 characters so I take some parameters out etc etc. It still doesn't work though.

I don't suppose someone wants to post a makeshirt "Tutorial on Flash Signatures"!??

Thanks,
Dave

Email Signatures
having exported a swish file as HTML, the resultant .html code didn't work as a html email signature on a PC that didn't have swish installed - it worked fine on the PC it was developed on however. Am I missing something? I did do this with the demo version so perhaps there is some type of restriction being enforced. The destination PC does have flash drivers installed. Any help appreciated!

Signatures N Stuff
Is it only the moderators who are able to have a small swf under their name in the forums or is it possible for us humbled folk to create and place such an item (of hopefully better quality than the moderators)

Are these that I mention 'Avatars', and if so.. whats the first stage of uploading one????

Transparency In Signatures
Hi

I've used the following code to put a swf file into a message board signature:

[flash=200,100]file.swf[/flash]

Is there anyway that I can modify this code to make my flash movie transparent? The way I usually do it is to change the HTML code of the page it appears in, but obviously I can't do that in this instance.

Thank you.

Function Signatures
Has anyone ever heard of a way to dynamically retrieve a function's signature? Example:
ActionScript Code:
function tester (p0:String, p1:Number, p2:Number, p3:MovieClip ....) {
//do stuff
}

function getSignature ():Array {
var parameter_array:Array = new Array ();
//look at the parameter typeof requirements for tester ()
//build an array like using some sort of for in loop:
parameter_array[0] = "String"
parameter_array[1] = "Number"
parameter_array[2] = "Number"
parameter_array[3] = "MovieClip"

return parameter_array;
}

Outlook And Flash Doing It Together?
Dear all,

I want to make a site that sents an e-mail to your Outlook when you've submitted your adress.
Now comes the Problem: that e-mail should not only have the text from a news-site in it (this allready works), but also a flash-animation in the background (the owner of the site even wants to choose between some different different animations). The other problem is that it has to be done directly from the site and not from a mailprogram and that he doesn't want to sent only a link to this page, but the whole page itself in the body. Hope you can help!

Thanks for all your responses,
Jip

Flas And Outlook
opa ... ,

i´m having some problems when designing some stuff to be distributed by mail.
(it´s no spam, is a monthly bullettin for the members of a club)

the thing i´m doing is design the bullettin with flash and publish it in html and swf.
i upload the swf to the server, and in the outlook i paste the html code changing the link to the swf from the partial address to absolute ( http://.....)

for most of the cases works fine exept this situations:
- some outlook users have problems opening it, in some cases the outlook crashes, no way of opening the mail
- the ones who have the middle or high security level set up in the outlook cant open it
-hotmail, terra, yahoo users dont read it, ... this is becouse they dont accept html mail

the basic problem is when the html script of the mail body links to the swf, there crashes,

Do any of you knows if there is another way of designing this kind of bullettins without this problems,
i tried to design something with dreamweaver or frontpage, but its anoing, they are tedious, i want to do it with flash,
should be a way, embed the swf in th mail, explode it to normal html,
i dont know, .... something

i´ll apreciate a lot any ideas,

thanks a lot

Help With Outlook Express Signature
Will someone provide some info. on what I need to do in order to have a signature made in Flash work in Outlook Express. At this point I have made it, saved it as an HTML doc. in the stationery folder on the C drive, but when I send a new email it just appears as a little grayish box. It does not play and when the email is received it either does not play or gives a message about an ActiveX object may cause email not to appear correctly. Are there HTML settings I need to set or something?

How To Insert SWF Into Outlook Email
Hi all

how can i do this easily ???

Adding From Flash To Outlook
I just saw a web site for a band where a viewer can click on one of the dates in the Tour Dates section and it adds the date to your Outlook XP calendar.

here is a link to the site:

http://www.switchfoot.com/main_fast.html

Go to the "Tour Dates" then the "Current Tour" link and you'll see it. It looks like its an e-mail that gets sent to you via a form. I tried sending it to my AOL accont and it was a simple e-mail with some code and instructions to "drag this into Outlook". However, if I also sent it to an account where I use Outlook for my mail. Here. I was simply able to drag it to my Outlook calendar and it worked perfect.

How is this done?

Thanks
