"Can that be uplifted and transferred to here? It's not a GIF is it."It's a Flash file. The URL is at the end of this message.Can you embed it in a Forum message?Short answer: NO.Slightly longer answer: I don't recommend it.Long answer: The problem is that there is no standard HTML code for handling Flash files that will work with all browsers, so you have to write a complex series of HTML tags to cater for different browsers, IE and Netscape anyway. (Don't know what Firefox expects, but who cares? Oops, sorry Jim.) Macromedia (the originators of Flash) recommend what they describe as the minimum HTML code required to provide Flash Player content in a web page:<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="myMovieName"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="myFlashMovie.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF><EMBED src="/support/flash/ts/documents/myFlashMovie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400"NAME="myMovieName" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>where the height, width, id and filename have to be set for the particular file being called. I have no idea whether any of this code would adversely affect the Neighbournet Forum software. You can get away with less than this on your own PC (I've done so on mine), but that won't necessarily work for other Forum members.Another problem is that with later versions of IE on Windows, the movie will be played using an ActiveX control, and some users may have set up IE to block ActiveX for security reasons. Consequently, I think it's best just to put a link in the message, which you can make clickable, with the movie shown in a new window, by using the format <a href="URL" target="_blank">URL</a>where URL is http://....... .swfFor example: http://fun.from.hell.pl/2003-11-24/bubblewrap.swf
