flash movie with white space I can't remove...

[brisox]

I have created my first flash and have tried to insert it in my Dreamweaver 4 web page I am designing (also my first). When I insert the flash movie, it has white space, of which I need none. I have tried playing with several pixel sizes in "movie properties" to no avail. I have tried moving the entire group of layers toward the middle "+", again to no avail. Please advise.

Where is the white space ... you need to be a little more specific. Is the page online? What's the URL?

Try going back to your source FLA and changing the backround colour

I think your are talking about the white space in your html page.

if so, set your margins to 0,
in dreamweaver, select Modify==>Page Properites

hope this helps jef

In Flash 5 I have designated the 'movie properties' to be the heighth and width of the 'content.' In Dreamweaver 4, the area I wish to insert the Flash movie, currently has this verbage:</td>
<td width=&quot;203&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#575e6e&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; height=&quot;256&quot;><!-- #BeginEditable &quot;main%20eye&quot; -->.

When I insert the flash, it correctly hugs the left margin (which I inputted a 0 in the previously empty margin field of modify->page properties), though the top, bottom, and right areas have large (1.5in, 1.5in, and 3in. respectively) white empty areas. I have inputted a 0 for the 'top margin', 'margin height', and 'margin width.'

Is this enough info to diagnose? I do not yet have the page published, so is not publicly viewable.

I think you are trying to set it so the actual page is the same size as your flash file. You dont want the rest of the page space correct?

If your browser window is a different shape from the flash it will show the background at the top/bottom or left/right dependant upon the browser wondow shape. If the background property of you FLA/SWF file is white (Modify - Document -Background color) then that is the colour that will show when your browser window is a different shape from your file.

Another option is to make your Flash Movie H=100% W=100% then it will fill your screen.

It really would help if we could SEE your problem.
