I have to launch a full browser Flash site tonight, all is working great except one issue. The doc type which should be a validated working doc type (below) is throwing my whole flash to the top of the page leaving about 80% of the page all white:

View problem site: [http://www.topdobermans.com/copy.htm](http://www.topdobermans.com/copy.htm)

```auto

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

```

But if I use an outdated doc type (below), it works just fine and fills the browser fluidly as it should. I need it to validate, what am I doing wrong?

View working site with out of date doc type: [http://www.topdobermans.com/](http://www.topdobermans.com/)
