There are various ways to get your swf centered. This is what I normally do:  
One file (index.htm) contains 3 frames (horizontal ones).

code for index.htm would look like this: (between \<html\>\</html\> tags)

\<frameset rows="_,555,_" frameborder=“NO” border=“0” framespacing=“0”\>  
\<frame src=“maintop.htm” name=“topFrame” scrolling=“NO” noresize \>  
\<frame src=“mainmiddle.htm” name=“mainFrame” scrolling=“no” noresize\>  
\<frame src=“mainbottom.htm” name=“bottomFrame” scrolling=“NO” noresize\>  
\</frameset\>  
\<noframes\>\<body\>  
\</body\>\</noframes\>

where:

- = current resolution - 555 / number of \* (in this case 2)  
555 = height of your swf file

Remember: your maintop, mainmiddle and mainbottom shouldn’t have any margins if you do use margins then the “555” should be “height of your swf + 2xmargin”

Put your swf in mainmiddle and code it like this: (between \<html\>\</html\> tags)

\<body topmargin=“0” bottommargin=“0”\>  
\<table width=“100%” border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0”\>  
\<!–DWLayoutTable–\>  
\<tr\>  
\<td width=“100%” height=“100%” align=“center” valign="middle\>  
HERE YOUR SWF  
\</td\>  
\</tr\>  
\</table\>  
\</body\>

That should do the trick…

that’s a bloody difficult way of doing it!!

```auto

<table height=100% width=100%>
<tr><td valign="middle">
  <center>
    code for your swf
  </center>
</td></tr>
</table>

```

that ought to save you a few kb’s of webspace compared to another certain method 😉

wait a second! it’s the same code. how come you made it so long-winded!!! i’m so confused… sorry.

[edit] Oh, I see. all of that stuff you’ve got about puting in all that nonsense with the height of the flash movie and the resoluction is **NOT** required.[/edit]
