    Hi folks

    I'd like to embed my .swf file in an html page so that it centers both horizontally and vertically in the browser.
    (eg: no matter what browser size the viewers using, it'll always be centered)
    I would appreciate if someone can give me a tip on how to achieve this. TIA

    Insert your SWF into a table at 100%w/100%h, then set the attributes of your table to center all contents within it - as simple as that !

    Dreamweaver and most other editors make life easier, if your coding by hand, go copy another site's HTML

    regards,

    I'm pretty dumb and hopeless with html, but I inserted my movie into a table in frontpage and it centers horizontally but not vertically. here's the code: What have I got wrong?

    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

    In typical Frontpage fashion, it puts in loads of junk code which never works ... dump the editor, it's hopeless in comparison to Dreamweaver which I just used to creat this :
    (replace your code with this)

    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
    <TITLE>Home</TITLE>
    <LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="./style.css">
    <LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="./site.css">
    <STYLE>
    </STYLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY STYLE="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(0,0,0);" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
    <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100%">
    <tr valign="middle" align="center">
    <td>
    <div align="center">
    <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cab5/swflash.cab#version=2,1,0,12" HEIGHT=400 WIDTH=760 ID="Shockwave1">
    <PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="./24.11.00_Intro.swf">
    <PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="AutoHigh">
    <PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="0">
    <PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="1">
    <PARAM NAME="Scale" VALUE="ExactFit">
    <PARAM NAME="SAlign" VALUE="L">
    <EMBED ID="Shockwave1" SRC="./24.11.00_Intro.swf" HEIGHT=400 WIDTH=760 PALETTE=BACKGROUND Quality=AutoHigh Loop=FALSE Play=TRUE Scale=ExactFit SAlign=L
    PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/"></OBJECT>
    </div>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
