Hi Paulp, and others, very busy weekend but I wanted to show/share... I have tried your original method (which has helped in the solution I have so far been most successful with).
It’s looking a bit off using this method so as per your last post I am going to show the page placing the code where you have suggested and perhaps you can suggest some fixes for it. In the name of learning I would be interested to know where to go from this place. Thanks
Code is as follows/recommended (I believe)

...And screenshot is attached to show the straight ’out-of-the-box’ results. As you can see aside from the slightly askew positioning, the page title is sitting above the movie at this point which is the biggest noticeable flaw.
Still seeing the white border around some of the flash movie frames, guessing it has to do with the resize of the swf movie in the html (don’t have flash so I can’t edit the flash file, nor do I have access to the .fla or .as files even if I did have flash). Again if anyone knows more about flash than I do (there are a lot of people in that category) would love to hear more about why that is occuring! Tried to keep the movie size ’ratio’ the same I believe.
