I'm using this code to center a flash object on an html page... (so that no matter how the window resizes it floats in the middle of the window both horizontally and vertically) it is centering it horizontally but valign "middle" doesn't seem to do anything. The ojbect stays glued to the top of the window. Am i doing something wrong? Should I try another method?

That;s because you are aligning the table contents, and not the Cell contents. Use the Valign on the cell that contains the flash object and it should work.

Code: 
  <td [red]valign="middle"[/red]><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"[/URL] width="661" height="495">
      <param name="movie" value="Intro.swf">
      <param name="quality" value="high">
      <embed src="Intro.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"[/URL] type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="661" height="495"></embed>
    </object></td>

Ohh and I strongly suggest you look into DIVs, instead of tables fort layout.
