alignment of swf object

Hello,

In dreamweaver, I have a full page that is for flash. My swf file aligns center fine horizontally, but I cannot get it to align center vertically.

How do I do this?

Try this:

<table width="100%" height="100%">
      <tr>
            <td align="center" valign="middle">
                  Blah Blah Blah...Flash <object> tags and stuff
            </td>
      </tr>
</table>

That still doesn't align the flash movie vertically. Horizontal centering is fine.

Really? Seemed to work fine for me...can you post all the code you have on that page, and a link to the page, please?

Sure,

Here's the link:

Here's the code:

<table width="95%" height="95%">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="600" height="400" align="middle">

</object>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

That's the same as I have, except for two things:

1. Take out both - align="middle" - in the <object> and <embed> tags.
2. Why is <table width="95%" height="95%"> 95% instead of 100%?

...although it should work the way it was...

Please take a look at this again. The movie moves to stay centered horizontally, but when I move the screen vertically, the flash movie does not move to center itself.
