Hey guys,

I’m kind of a beginner, but I’m getting close to finishing my new site. I’ve got one SWF that I’m simply loading into an HTML page through Dreamweaver…Insert Media \> Flash, etc. I also have my HTML background set to a solid grey color that matches the background of my SWF. However, there is a giant white space that remains right before the SWF loads. Is there any way I can make that white space grey too, or simply not show up?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
