Hello. Making animated movies from .eps elements created in Illustrator is easy. My lack of knowledge comes from understanding the transport process.

Generally, I can build a video, save and compress it, and export as either .swf or .mov documents. Putting them in a website isn’t hard…I just import them into Dreamweaver. To send them to a client to check if they work to his/her satisfaction, how do I package them to be Emailed? I attached a .swf to myself via a third party Email server and it came back embedded in Firefox and played correctly when the Email was opened. (The attachment read 8kb.) But when I sent it from my home Email to a third-party server Email it came back with a message about failed parts.

I checked out every MX 2004 library book from the 72 libraries in the local library co-op, and they mention components being created with the export process, but a search of my computer doesn’t show anything new beyond the 8kb .swf file. What am I missing?
