macromedia flash sitedesign:

Hi people,

I've designed a website in flash but I don't know how to center it
horizontally as well as vertically. I know that if I ad a <center> tag, that
centers it horizontally only. Does anyone know how to center it so that when
you re-scale your browser, the website remains centered horizontally and
vertically?

The code at the moment is this:

<title>main</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">


<center>
<object classid="clsid:d28cdb6e-ae6d-12cf-97b7-444772540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=7,0,0,0" width="910" height="500" id="main" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="910"
height="500" name="main" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</center>
</body>
</html>

For an example to see what I mean look at http://www.louisvuitton.com

Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Well, first off you need to use updated code on your pages so that IE on PC
will show the site without having to have it "enabled".

I would suggest using the
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html listed on the
Adobe web site.

After that, head over to http://www.gotoandlearn.com and check out his
tutorial on centering Flash sites. Just as an FYI, the way I implement his
cenetering technique on sites http://www.lakesideatcrosscreek.com is by putting
the entire "site" inside a movieclip, and then having the code center that
movieclip.

Hope that helps!
