macromedia flash sitedesign: This may be a silly question, but I can't seem to figure it out. How does one center a swf file on an HTML page without using a table?

you don't. if you want it centered vertical;ly and horizontally, you must
use a table

If you only need left to right centering you can use the <CENTER> tag which
is still supported by all browsers.

<CENTER>
<OBJECT>
all the object code for your flash swf file
</OBJECT>
</CENTER>

Put the cursor to the left of the swf & center it using the properties inspector (lower right hand side)

The method below replaces the <CENTER> tags and will only center your file
horizontially - just like a <CENTER> tag does. You are 'gonna hafta' use a
table if you want it vertically centered too.

And by the way, ALWAYS close your tags. If you use the <DIV> tag, make sure
you close it with a </DIV>.

after your "body" tag, right the followng code:
<div align="center">
(make sure it is before your swf file)

cheers

good point vern! forgot to mention closing tags AND that this method orients the swf to the horizontal center only....

Once you publish your flash movie and look at the source code for the html
file, can that be stripped down? I don't know much about html, but it seems
that a lot of stuff is goin on in the source that is not totally neccessary.
What is the bare minimum you need to play your movie in an html file?

Dunno what this has to do with the subject of the post, but nevertheless.
Obviously you can skip on all parameters; they will fall to their default
value if omitted I guess. You might be interested in this article:

Thanks for the article.
I was just trying to see exactly what code goes into the table.
