Remember, you can’t run any sort of animation within an e-mail, you have to do that in a full Web page loaded in a browser. (Technically, you can use animated GIF, but support for it is extremely sketchy.)
If you click on it - it looks like it opens a web page
but If i made a hype or an ewa file made a one page doc and uploaded it to their server or mine would that work?
also how would you link it to the graphic in the email so it opens up the page?
am I missing something?

I figured it out Thank you for making me look and dissect more.
with hype, you upload the resource file and the .html file then in the ftp program (i use cyberduck) get the url for the html and that is the animation.
in mail I just put a graphic and assigned a link to it. Will that same procedure work in other mail clients (attaching a hyperlink to a graphic)?
Thank you again!
you guys rock!

Yes - the important thing about HTML emails is to keep them simple - dont include any jazz within the email itself - but links to web pages are universally recognised.
Ok great -thats all I am looking at a graphic linked to a site with the animation
Thank you!
