a simple <center> </center> tag should do the trick before and after the <object> tags.


try http://www.moock.org for some great swf resizing scripts.

Oh yea. And how do you make a preloader?

[gerbick]

ok, what operating system are you running? win95, win98, winME, winNT, win2k, or winXP?

I'll help you with the notepad, then we'll go from there. cool?

[Visionray]

phew. Ok. Thanks gerbick

I am running on windows I think. I forget which version.

Now....
how do I open a notepad html? I dont get it. All I want to know is how to put a swf in the middle of the internet!

I want it to preload my html pages. Is that possible?

[aversion]

dzine told you how to do it

the idea is that you need to edit the html not the flash in any way.

just write click on the html file that includes your flash and choose open with notepad then do what dzine suggested.

[gerbick]

like D said. you view the html via Internet Explorerer (iexplore.exe) and then you click Edit w/ Notepad. should have a notebook icon on your IE browswer.

btw, you don't preload html. you preload your flash *.swf files.

hope that helps

though nowadays you should use <div align='center'>your embed html here</div>

[Visionray]

lol

Ok I dont have internet explorer gerbick. Ok? I am not as advanced as you. I am not as rich. Just because you contract at a higher rate for the government doesnt mean you can boss me around ok? I use mozilla. Or some old school browser from 1994.

ok guys this is getting way to complicated for me. I cant preload HTML? What kind of crap is that?

[gerbick]

boss? man, look. I can't help it because you got some junk contract, and the way it sounds, some junk computer.

A little pixie dust usually does the trick for me.

best thing to do visionray, delete this thread and post it in general help, you should get a quick reply

in the meantime search the archives for similar threads. There have been many questions on this topic and should be lots of good answers.

if you want to center it on the page, not just top/middle but middle/middle then you're probably going to have to use frames...

[gerbick]

no need to make fun of your computer. any slower, it'll prob be like your grandfather, dead too.

coffee gopher? bleh. probably that cheap, second rate coffee they give to the underlings. like you.
