I have a background swf that has been coded so that it scales with the browser. I want to load the main swf file (main.swf) on top of this bg so that it is always centred on the page.

Any suggestions??

Much Thanks,

u have flash which means you have dreamweaver so do the obvious and make a layer, on that layer make a table, this table should be 3 by 3 with 30% on all the squares except the middle one, where your mainswf is. If you dont have dreamweaver post and if your lucky someone will tell you how in notepad.

stop being a smart \*\*\* brandon, he does not necessarily have dreamweaver, he didn’t necessarily buy studio mx. # ! @ $ you…

if what you’re meaning, steadvibe is that you have a flash movie that is set to scale to the entire page in the browser, then you may wish to look at this:  
[http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/Automatic\_Resize/index.shtml](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/Automatic_Resize/index.shtml)

if what you’re meaning, is that you would like to centre a flash movie within a browser window, then you’d want this:

```auto
<table height=100% width=100%>
 <tr><td valign="middle">
  <center>
   <!--code for flash movie here-->
  </center>
 </td></tr>
</table>

```
