Hiya,
I have almost finished my new Flash Portfolio.
Under the flash movie I have some text:

'©2003 | Phonomani-Designs | All Rights Reserved'.

I want the text to line up with the left-hand edge of the movie so that no matter what size browser the user may have the text will always be in this position:

The problem is it won't stay in tht position.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, the link to the site is:

thanx in advance.

Is there any way you could make just add that to the bottom of your flash image? Then again, I don't know anything about flash, so I don't know.

The only thing I can think of is if you put it in a table, like both the flash and the text. That way the can both be in the same area.

But like I said, I don't know how flash works, so I don't know if the flash thing has a set width or something so you can put in it a table... *shrugs*

I really like the flash though, it's pretty. ^_^

Hey Robz... 2nd day learning html n i got the same problem... i kinda found a way to align... its a newbish way though... since you cant use spaces to align try using this type of space

"alt" + "0160"

that should space it out further from the margin

btw nice mov ^^

hoped i helped if not good luck :)

you could just center the text under the image... but you want the text right at the edge of the movie thing, just use this code... <div style="position: absolute; top:0; left:0">text here.</div>
only change the bold, and it should work :D

Thanks for the help guys :)

I figured it out using centered tables that are the exact fit to my movie.

I learned flash myself and got help from swish-tutorials.com, swish-db.com and ultra-fused.com
