Hello,
I’m trying to center an swf in a browser without using table width and height 100% and the most promising way i’ve found so far is to set
Stage.scaleMode = “noscale”;
in the first frame and then set the width and height of the object tag in the html to 100%. However, i’m having trouble getting this to work with the doctype in some newer browsers. What am I doing wrong?

i added this to the object tag and it seems to work now in the newer browsers…
style=“position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 1”
does anyone have any idea on how i can get this to work now in older browsers like netscape 4.x?

The way I’ve been able to get a single object to be centered vertically and horizontally in a browser is by the use of an HTML table. For example:
\
\
\Place Page Title Here\
\
\
\
\
Place Object Here
\
\
\
\
\
Hope this works for you! Good luck!
