How do I center a swf in html?

Hi,
this is driving me insane.. how do I centre an swf in an html file ABSOLUTELY i.e. centred vertically & horizontally but display the file at 100%, not stretch it to fill the browser window ?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I think you can just put your object tags in a div and use css for your positioning.

whoooa !!!!!!!!

a) How quick was that reply ! &
b) I expected a reply like " click absolute centre" in properties in Dreamweaver, I'm fairly new at this

thanks

The following "HTML" will do it. There actually is no height attribute for the table element, but commonly used browsers will pay attention to it, and if they ignore it, it's not a problem, the file will just be centered at the top.



Dreamweaver is not useful if you don't know what you are doing. You would benefit yourself by reading information on how to mark up HTML by hand. Otherwise, you'll always be helpless when browsers don't understand your code, and you'll end up guessing when you could be knowing. Dreamweaver is a tool, but it can't make well-made Web pages for you -- that's your responsibility.

If you're new to this, you may wish to read something like Learning HTML 3.2 by Examples ( http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/HTML3.2/ ), or, if you're very new, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html-primer.html

The document about HTML 3.2 may seem out of date because the current version of HTML is 4.01 (and then there's XHTML 1.0 and 1.1, which are no more useful than HTML 4.01), but I still think it is an excellent place to learn the basics, and its author has much more useful information on his Web site as well. Later on, you will probably wish to learn things like CSS, and perhaps some of the aspects of HTML 4.01 that 3.2 lacks.

use dreamweaver.. its really easy to enter swf in a web page when using dreamweaver... dreamweaver n flash both being macromedia products

y not just:

<center><EMBED bla bla bla></center>

center will just put it in the center horizontally. he wants it vertically too.
as for the swf, put its actual height/width properties in the embed.

oh oops... missed the vert thingy... DIV will do as said ^^^
