Hi, I am trying to create pop-ups for several pieces of work for my on-line portfolio… When i preview the pop-ups, by loading the main movie in Explorer and then clicking the specific button, my pop-up does appear and in the centre of the screen also… but the mc within the window is off centre…  
I go into MX and make sure the html options are set for centre allignment, dimensions-pixels, scale - no border etc…but still it appears with this annoying border - cutting out some of the main image…  
What do I do? - Do I change the HTML in Dreamweaver?

The pop-up code I am using is based on this sites actionscript pop-up tutorial…

well, unfortunately flash does that. ☹

no matter what settings you chose, it will place the swf on the html code with a let/top border.

just replace the body tag of your html document for this:

```php
<BODY bgcolor="WHITE" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" border="no" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

```

and it will be ok.

[COLOR=crimson]remember: if you publish your movie again it will override all html changes.[/COLOR]

cheers :bounce:

Actually… hello! Are you still there?!  
I have just tried both techniques…and both didn’t work. The best I got to a tight window was the top and bottom exact but 2 borders on either side… Is it something Im doing wrong in MX when I publish?

you must click the main.html.

the main.html will load the popup.html with the exact dimensions.

the folders on my desktop I open it, and double click on the “main.html” file - this orange window pops up with a chunky white boarder on its east and south sides?!?

Okay… my previous attempts used your suggestion and the oyther guys idea to put the swf into a table.  
When I just use your technique I get a boarder on the left and bottom sides, like how your file appears on my computer except my html file has smaller boarders. Im working on a G4 with Dreamweaver 4 and Flash MX - but I wouldnt think that that would cause any problems. Hey-ho! I’ll just try fiddling a bit more…thanks for your help any how! 🙂
