I would like to compose memo in a such a way that there is flash file should open in the memo. and there should be no From /To/BCC/CC part of the memo
it should act as just as a document…
how can i do that in designing part i mean how can i put flash file and when other user opens it it should react as a document… i mean no from,to,bcc,cc
the agenda is this kind of mail needs to be send by HR person for new joinee who will have this flash file on theri memo and will give some guidance on some how to submit expese report and labbballla.
Well, you can send a memo without a header if you set the field:
$HideMailHeader=“1”
As for having it autostart a flash attachment. I don’t know if this is possible. I hope this is NOT possible as this would be a huge security issue, autolaunching attachments. (Let me include this virus in this excel spreadsheet and have it autolaunch.)
You’re also assuming Flash is installed on the persons machine, but that’s pretty likely these days and if it’s a company machine, that might be a corporate standard.
Well, you can certainly include an animated GIF. Like this:
But animated GIF handling is built into Lotus Notes. Flash is an external application, like excel.
Of course, I never thought to ask… Is the person reading the e-mail via a Notes Client or the web. Maybe something more is possible via web mail. (Plus, I maybe completely wrong.)
Well, when i open the memo , it is directly open with mailheader ( i mean CC/BCC/ or from) as u said earlier.
the flash file which is opening is about giving some training where they will give some basic idea i mean movable picuturize … that will give new joineed some idea about company
and when i check the document property there were having some stranger field like
it is notes client mail,…
$$ScriptName
$$ScriptName
$$Script_O
$$ScriptName
$$ScriptName
i dont know how it is but our other department does that…
Ah time think outside the box that is a standard memo. With your $$SCRIPT I did a search and found this:
It looks like they might be sending a document with an attached form (this would also send an e-mail without the header information). Is there a $Title field in the document.
Maybe that attached form has the flash as part of it or somehow starts up the flash using script. Now this has got me really curious.
It helps explain (or my understanding) things, what they are sending it a Document with an attached form instead of memo.
This creates a lot more possibilites on what is being done. For example, when the form is opened you can executive a postopen even in the sent form, that launches an attachement.
Can you confirm the Flash file is playing the notes client (in a new window maybe) or does it start a web browser and the flash is playing in that. Also how it the setting in your location document set for the following:
when i opened the memo, i am receiving the new document like any other document in notes client with does not hold cc/bcc/from part and starts running flash file…
David Hardings posting seems to have the solution ==>
Yes, I understand it comes in as an e-mail. I’ve used this “trip” to capture information off of people’s machines and send it back to central DB. I went off in the wrong direction because you said you wanted to do it in memo.
As for the qiestion on the browser / another client tab is, I am curious if the attached form is doing it in the same document or might be starting another web window in the notes client.
It is possible to have a flash object embedded into a notes document, but would require you to modify the form in designer in order to handle it.
In my experience its generally a bad idea though, as I found the Notes client’s handling of the Flash object to be flaky - some people experienced crashes, others got the flash movie but it was really small, and the lucky ones got it as it should be.
You would be better off hosting the flash video on your company’s Intranet or something, then sending a link to the page in the email.
If you do insist on persisting with the embedded flash route, this might help with creating the flash object in designer:
