Hey out there;

No doubt this is real basic know-how, but i still need help. When i publish a movie, to look it over on my machine, the movie is always hard left, never centered. So obviously, i went to publish settings and checked under the html tab and found that the flash alignment options are already 'centered'...

... it just doesn't seem to be working.

When you publish, how do you make your movie center?

Thanks
Hoss

Use a table or a layer/division and add all the following margin stuff in your body tag...
The following has always worked fine for me...
Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>CENTERED TEMPLATE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#999999" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" TOPMARGIN="0" 
LEFTMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" BOTTOMMARGIN="0" SCROLL="NO">
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr bgcolor="#999999"> 
<td align="center" valign="middle"></td>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
