aligning an embeded flash movie...

[missruby]

i'm trying to avoid using "align" in the html and thought i'd just put a little css in the head of the index page so the flash movie centers itself both horizontally and vertically...

any ideas...?

you could just add the following for the horizontal centering.

body {
text-align: center;
}
But I believe you will have to find a vertical-align hack for the vertical centering.

What I've done instead is I make my Flash movie 100% wide and 100% tall and then use ActionScript to center my MovieClip on the Flash stage.

To both horizontally and vertical center something, I recommend this cool little page that shows how to do it with a couple of divs and some CSS. Just view the source of this page: http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre4.html
