Mailshot .swf / javascript blocked by Outlook

Does ShockwaveFlash work in Outlook?

[SilverLining]

I tend to stay away from shockwaveflash files, especially in mailshots! Trying to send a mailshot with some funky software, the .swf has been uploaded to an adserver so that I can get click stats. Opening the template file in a browser works fine, but once the email is sent, Outlook seems to block the .swf file. I think it's actually blocking the JavaScript. The rest of the mailshot comes through fine.

Here is some code used on the page:

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
<!--
if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
document.write ("http://ads.blah.com/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
document.write ("&amp;what=zone:x");
document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
if (document.referer)
document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referer));
document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->
</script>
<noscript>
<a href='http://blah.com?n=x!' target='_blank'>
<img src='blah' border='0' alt=''>
</a>
</noscript>

Is there a way of making this work? Or is the downfall on Microsoft's side?
