Can anyone help.

I want to put a small image of a ticking clock in the top left hand corner of some e-mails I am sending out. I use Thunderbird which has a facility to put in a link.

The image is the ticking clock face here

http://flash-clocks.com/documents/flash-clock-2.html

But I don't understand the simple instructions

Ideally I would like the actual image itself to appear. Failing that then a link such as Tick-Tock

Any help appreciated.

David,

you are trying to insert a (link to) a shockwave flash program into an e-mail - not just a simple image. The last thing that anyone should do is run a program that it inserted/attached to an e-mail as it could do all kinds of nasty (virusey) things (and often your mail client will block them anyway).

You could simply insert the link http://flash-clocks.com/free-flash-c...-clock-175.swf as text so that when they click on it it will launch their browser with the clock animation displayed.

HTH,

mb

OK - thanks mb. I think I get what you you are saying and I was trying to be too clever for my own good!!

But I have had limited success with a just a copy and paste routine on a single GIF image with a moving second hand.

What I don't know is if this will be picked up as Spam so I need to find someone who hasn't got my name in their address book to test this.

Hope you had a good day

David
