It is possible to encode ANY file to base64 and insert it on a page (a
flash file, an image, a sound). The problem is that IE doesn´t support it.
You can do (for example)
<img
src="data:image/gif;base64,dSQ84lLQfY5R14wDB5Lyon4ubwS7jx9NcV9/j5+g4JADs="
width="10" height="15" />
And all browsers will show the correct image, and IE a broken image icon.
(the above image is not a real one, so don´t try on your browser).

about it. Is it possible to base64 encode a swf file and include that
raw
data in your web page instead of hosting a separate swf file on your
server?
Hi Tom, I don't have much solid info myself on that approach... I had
heard it discussed during meetings, with the context that there were
size constraints of some type, but I haven't seen any implementations of
it myself.
Sorry I've no solid info, but maybe that in itself is some info...? ;-)
