Just wondering if this is possible. I want to create a swf file and email it to someone. When I emailed the swf to myself, it downloaded fine. When I double-clicked on the file, it tries to open illustrator and an error message appears.  
Is it possible to email swf files?  
Do I need to export the swf a certain way?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
