How do you make the flash swf to be in the the EXACT center of the browser window?
In dreamweaver, it only allows my to highlight the swf when i inserted it and then go to align–>center.
I want it to be exactly in the middle of the browser window.
Its easy but i dont know…please explain!
Lostinbeta, thanks, but i believe you misunderstood what i said.
I have a 150 x 150px image, and i want it to remain those dimensions, but be at the exact center of the browser window.
In flash i can center anything via the align panels. It is a piece of chocolate cake.
But dreamweaver is not that good at allowing people to put things exactly where they want them.
I wish the image to be in the exact center of the wondow when viewed in the browser.
Can you help?
My sincerest apologies. It seems i misunderstood you.
I don’t understand what that post is asking me to do. I mean, do i put the image in a table?
Can you clarify?
Sorry 
:beam:
Where the “<!–embed code here–>” is in that script you replace that with your .swf embed code or image code or whatever you want to be centered in the area.
so all i do is copy and paste that html code into the script in dreamweaver and just enter my swf’s name?
That’s it? Cos it doesn’t seem to work :-/
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>[ 10 second trailer ]</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</TR>
</TABLE>

</div>
</body>
</html>
It doesn’t seem to work…this is what i get:
It sends it right to the bottom
view this html
Yah that is the exact effect i am going for {by the way hinduvidya.com is my site…)
Do you know why i can’t achieve this effect?
let me look at your code
hmm ur gonna have to post your fla. i forgot how i did it, i have to do it from scratch
when i add my swf to dreamweaver, there must be a simple way to align the swf in the absolute middle of the page.
That is what i mean. Nothing to do with the swf/fla itself.
Dreamweaver frustratingly doesn’t allow you to align things the easy way.
Someone must know how to do it!
this works i tested it

i messed about with your code, and it seems as long as you paste this:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</SCRIPT>
That is all that is required.
Doesn’t make sense, but if you check my site:
you can see it works.
If only i knew how 
yea i wasnt sure what you needed. when i made that site i just used estudio’s javascript to get it to relaunch and center liek that
ok this is what i figured.
That javascript is what makes the new window without the buttons.
Except i STILL don’t know how to center something in dreamweaver :sleep:
you can center anything by clicking on it and going to align = center.
you can’t do what u just did with out JS
If you right click soemthing, dreamweaver aligns it in the center HORIZONTALLY (not vertically as well).
In flash mx i can put something in the middle of both x and y axis.
It must be a very easy thing to do, someone must know.
If it must be done with js, what is the code?
omg u just wrote the code
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</SCRIPT>
im done with this thread. and stop saying someone must know, the answer is in front of you
NO.
This code is used to open the url in a new window without any buttons.
This has nothing to do with re-aligning objects.
