See that the movie is not centered.  
If it’s not, make sure it’s not inside a table.  
If it’s not, include this in the body tag:

```auto
  <body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0>

```

I told you, in the body tag. Don’t you know what a body tag is? It’s in the HTML page where your movie is in.  
Every HTML page consists of the following format:

```auto
 
<html>
<body>
Contents of the page
</body>
</html>

```

So where you see the \<body\> you need to write \<body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0\>  
You can do the same for rightmargin, bottommargin and so on, the numbers tell the distance from the edge of the page.

Kapice?

or go to modify/page properties (in the menu), and put the zeroes into the 4 fields there; rename the page (give it a title) while you’re there, this is the place where you modify all the general page properties: background color, text color, link color and so on…
