Hello, I am trying to define a flash movie with a fixed width but 100% height. I have the movie setup with an onResize handler. My problem seems to be in the HTML. I can get it to go 100% width and height or have it aligned top left but not centered.

```auto

html, body { 
height: 100%; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0; 
}
#container { 
position:absolute; 
left:0; 
top:0;
align:center;
padding:0; 
width:960px; 
height:100%; /* works only if parent container is assigned a height value */ 
color:#333; 
background:#eaeaea; 
border:1px solid #333; 
} 

```

the align:center of the container does indeed center the movie but then it no longer has a height of 100%.

Can anyone tell me what im missing here?

Thanks
