Well, I finished my website (all done with flash5), published it and everything worked just fine but one think that I dont know how to make, how can I make my swf appear in the center of the browser window not in the upper left corner???
Is anyone have a clue?
Help is very appreciated.
thanx guys.

create a table and insert the flash file in it like so:

Code:

<html><head><title>whatever</title></head>

<body>

<table align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<object>
....
....
</object>
</td></tr></table>

</body></html>

I used the code you posted, but all I got is a blank screen, but I could hear the sound of the movie though, So I don't know, but it doesn't seem to work, do you guys have any other suggestions?
thanx for your time.

Hey. The centering of your .swf is up to the HTML page that is calling it. The code listed by NepDude might not be exact, but contains what you need to know. Look at the code and integrate it into the HTML page you have that is working. It's all there and you'll be stoked to find the error.
Good luck.

made some changes

Code:

<html><head><title>whatever</title></head>

<body>

<table width="100%" height="100%">
 <tr>
  <td align="center" valign="middle">
   <object>
   ....
   ....
   </object>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

</body></html>

There you go, it works, thank you very much.
I also realised that I could do it through dreamweaver, you create a table and then you can insert you swf inside the table and align the table in the middle.. cool
see you guys later for another challenge.
