Hey there fella’s

I am trying to rack my brain trying to figure out how to do this. Lets say I have a named Flash file on my page, placed with just the embed tag in the code. I want to position the Flash movie based on its name, not the entire embed tag. This works for me:

```auto
<html>
<head>
<title>Nice</title>
<style type="text/css">
    embed {left: 50px; margin-left: 450px; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<embed src="kB.swf" width="300" height="50" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="joe" ></embed>
</body>
</html>

```

It moves my Flash movie over towards the right of the page. Excellent!

Except when I have 2 Flash movies on the page they both move. I do not want this.

Is there a way to have the CSS tell a particular named Flash movie where to go, in this case, joe?

I’d really appreciate any help. I know this probably seems like a \*\*\*\*\*\*\* question but I will explain my reasoning if need be.
