Flash Embedding

[ckane]

Hope somebody can help with some advice on this...

My site has a flash intro, but the rest is Frontpage, so I want to embed the flash in my index page. It works well except for one issue I can't seem to get past. The intro is 800x600, and I started out having it aligned top and left, thinking that would fill most 800x600 screens. It doesn't. On my computer at home and work it filled the screen and looked fine. Three friends viewing on three different computers but all with similar screen sizes and resolutions said it only took up 75% of their screen and appeared "scrunched" up into the lefthand corner. So I tried centering it, then tried moving it further to the right. When it finally looked more evenly centered to them, it was so far to the right for me I had to move the scrollbar to center it.

I had also tried making the movie itself larger, but it still never filled the screen for the others and started looking distorted, so I returned it to the 800x600 size.

What do most of you do to embed flash as far as the positioning?

i see this is an old post, but have you found a solution. maybe you can post your webaddress.
If i understand your problem correctly I would set the page in a table of 100% width and height. then center the flash object both hor. and ver.
something like:
table width =100% height 100%
tr
td with 100% align=center valign=middle
your flash object
\td
\tr
\table

never resize your flash object
if it 800x600, asuming you are targeting screens with a minumum res. of 800, then it will be in the middle of the screen, also for 1200 etc resolutions

Use CSS to style your sheet and place the flash within <div id = #whatever> tags. Use your CSS for positioning #whatever and it should alleviate any problems.
vegasgwm is right, do not resize your .swf !
