Possible, yes, but I'd discourage it. For one thing you can't guarantee what e-mail client the other person is using. If they're reading your message on Outlook 2010 or web access with a browser that disables active content or a Blackberry or an iPad or.... then they won't see the images or flash files correctly.

With flash files in particular a lot of mail servers are going to block that traffic as potentially dangerous.

Lastly some people think those things are cute, but a lot of people (like me) think they're mostly just annoying.
