    Okay, sorry - I was being an idiot in the notes above.

    1. Do not use a table.
    2. Place the SWF in a DIV.
    3. Center the DIV:

    The procedure for centering the DIV using CSS goes like this:

    1 -> Place the top of the DIV at 50%
    2 -> Place the left of the table at 50%
    3 -> Give the DIV a negative left margin, equal to half it's width
    4 -> Give the DIV a negative top margin, equal to half it's height

    The reason this works, is due to the fact that a CSS margin can hold a negative value. You use the negative margin to pull the table back into position.
