[SWFObject] Center flash movie in html?

Mon Sep 25 16:52:05 PDT 2006

well if your movie is full screen you can use the fullpage.html  
example that comes with swfobject...

if it's not full screen, there's a number of ways you can do it..

the usual way is to use absolute positioning and set the top and left  
position of your div to 50%, then set the top and left margins to  
-1/2 of the pixel size of your flash movie/div size.
