centering?

How do I have my flash doument align in the middle of a html doument. In the center of the page? Is there some code?

i don't think you can...

well you can trick it for horizontal alignement - just put the code inside a table and set the table to align="center"

well.. i guess you could also make 3 rows - set table hight to 100% then put your content into the middle cell and set that to valign="middle"

though i don't think that will work - not the vertical alignment anyways... but you can set the window to open to the exact size of the move using JS... on the button that calls the swf file.

hopefully this helped.

the best way to do this would be via css and negative margin values:

put this code in the <head> tag:

Code:

<style type="text/css"><!--
.movie {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -XXXpx;
margin-top: -YYYpx;
}
--></style>

NOTE: replace XXX with HALF the WIDTH of your flash movie and replace YYY with HALF the HEIGHT of your flash movie

then, simply place class="movie" in your <embed> tag i.e.:

Code:

<embed src="flashMovie.swf" class="movie" height="XXX" etc.>

hope it helps!
