I just started remaking my first flash site and I got a new free host… I learned the html to show my Swf. on the page aswell ( which I’m pretty proud of, since I’ve only been using flash a week now)… But As you can probably tell it hangs to the left of the screen…

How do I center it?

I know that some/a lot of the stuff on this site, [http://www.htmlgoodies.com](http://www.htmlgoodies.com) is/may be out of date, but I know that it helped me a bit back in the day. I also know that this might not be the best way to do this either, css probably being your better bet, but, anyways, something like this should work.

```php
<table width=100% height=100% border=0>
<tr>
<td align=center valign=center>
<OBJECT>
Your embedded flash file
</OBJECT></td>
</tr>
</table>

```

Double check your links, I can’t see your site…

I use dreamweaver with flash and just insert flash and centre align - I’m lazy so it does it for me 🙂

What Jdl said, its easy and its not being lazy, the end result is more important. Import the swf file into Dreamweaver by clicking the red flash icon, locate it\> when its on the page, on down to the properties window\>select it and center it.
