I have send a swf Xmas card to all my friends (Flash 5). I did not know that they need a Flash player installed (other than the player you use in IE/Netscape) on your computer to play it.

There must be another way, now isn’t there?

Well, then how about publishing the card as a projector and sending it as an attachment?  
This way people need to have Flash installed to view it.  
\*\*Only problem with this is you have to publish both Mac and PC versions cause they are operating system specific.

BUT, if your card isn’t immense in file size, they can choose, and it always works.
