Hi guys , apart from the obvious : creating a table , aligning centre commands etc…
I have a 1600 x 1200 swf, the main content sits top centre in this movie…normally flash uses the top left as proxy for alignment…
this means that when I centre the movie…the content which is ( in the centre of the swf ), sits off sceen at a smaller res…
I need to dynamically centre the swf into an HTML page, wrapping the rest of the swf " under" the browser…
So I need some code that at runtime checks its width in relation to the screensize , from within the swf and dynamically centres…with no scrollbars horizontally…only vertically …
HA ! Ive been pulling my hair out, if ANYONE CAN HELP\>\>\>
PLEASE \>\>I BOW AND SCRAPE ON BENDED KNEE !!!
