Centering a Flash Object

[Ian Jones]

Well, you seems to be writing obsolete HTML 4.01 rather than XHTML (So I made a couple of changes, but didnt even touch the potential problems with the Flash embed (that's a more complex issue), so you should probably read up more about that at www.w3schools.com

In the mean time, the way to achieve it is with an additional Div container wrapped around everything. You give this Div container 100% width of the browser (or whatever area you want to center within) then you place another div within this to hold your centered content. The inner Div then needs to have its width set and then the trick is to give it 'auto' margins on the left and right. It then sits in the horizontal middle of the container Div.

<div id="container" style="width: 100%">
<div id="swf" style="width:444px; height:111px; margin: 0 auto 0 auto;">
<noscript> <object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"
id="test_MastHead__" align="middle" height="111" width="444"><param
name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"> <param
name="allowFullScreen" value="false"> <param name="movie"
value="test_MastHead__.swf"><param name="quality"
value="high"><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed src="test_MastHead__.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
name="test_MastHead__" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle"
height="111" width="444"> </object></noscript>
