make it 100% by 100% without a border

click 'insert flash'

go make some coffee, and maybe a biscuit

Thanks for the info. As an artist, I am horrible at figuring out HTML code,

I need all the help I can get. So I thought that I would pass along this

tip on HTML code building for anyone who uses Adobie GoLive. By importing a

flash movie into Adobie GoLive, you can use the HTML code that GoLive

creates to supplement the Flash HTML code.


In GoLive, drag a Table Tag icon from the Palette window onto the Layout

window and. Turn the table into a 1 column, 1 row table by entering 1 into

the row and width fields in the Table Inspector palette with a border of 0,

cell pad 0, and cell space 0 (hit the tab key after each entry). Then click

on the Cell tab in the Table Inspector and then click on the bottom of the

table outline in the Layout window to make the alignment buttons in the

Cell tab ready for entry. Set the Vertical Alignment field to Middle and

the Horizontal Alignment field to Center. The Table will now center itself

in any browser no matter what size the window is.


Now drag a Plug-in icon from the Palette window onto the table in the

Layout window. Import your Flash movie into the Site window and drag it

into the Plug-in icon in the Layout window. Click on the Plug-in and in the

Plug-in Inspector window select "application/x-shockwave-flash" in the Mime

field. Now view the HTML source code that GoLive has figured out for you by

clicking on the Source tab.


Go to the File menu and select open, find your Flash HTML file (created

when you Published your movie) and to open it in GoLive. Transfer any extra

code created by Flash to the GoLive Source code window and your done.
