Under your publish settings, select the HTML tab. Then under dimensions, select percent (keep it at 100%). Then under Flash Alignment, make sure both horizontal and vertical say center.

Tell the clip to play when you want to use it. 2. Have the content in the loaded swf contained in a movieClip and ...more >>
