    Hello everyone,
    first of all, sorry for my bad english and flash/action script level.

    I must admit I just discovered SWFObject, and really loved the idea of making full page swf websites using it.

    My (stupid) question is about positionning elements on the stage. Using the provided example of fullpage.html, I saw that the 0,0 coordinates are in fact the middle of the stage/browser.

    I wanted to know if there was a way to change this setting, and do so that 0,0 are in fact the top-left corner of the page? It would be easier for me to center, align, and build my website.

    Any other idea? I thought of doing a container movieclip which would be in the top left corner, and put my contents in it, but my low action script level quickly stopped me in my attempts.

    The only code I was able to write in order to position a movie clip in the top left corner of the stage was this:

    // no upgrade needed, start the movie
    container._x =(-1)*(Stage.width/2);
    container._y =(-1)*(Stage.height/2);
    stop();

    Then, I'm stuck.... :)

    Once again, any help would be much appreciated :)

    Thanks in advance.

    You want to look at the Stage class, as it will allow you to do what you want

    If you add this code to your swf as the 1sr actions on frame 1, then everything will register from the top left hand corner:

    with (Stage)
    {
    align = "TL";
    scaleMode = "noScale";
    }

    // which is the same as:
    // Stage.align = "TL";
    // Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

    You can then keep you movieclips at 0,0


    You can then listen to Stage.onReisze events to dynamically resposition elements as you need to. Do a Google search or see more here:

    Cheers,
