Centering my site in the browser

Hello there.
I've just finished building a website with a fluid layout. When I tried it in the browser, it's not centered. I tried adding <center> </center> tags to the body of the HTML page but this didn't work... so how can I fix it?

Correct answer kglad

Yes I'm publishing for full screen. But when I'm not in full screen mode, I still want it to be centered...

btw, that's my preloader's HTML file which loads my main swf... when I changed the publishing settings for my preloader's HTML page, when the main swf is loaded, I cannot go full screen anymore...


your preloader will be centered because you're publishing for 100%x100%.  if your loaded swf isn't centered in the preloader its because the loader you're using to load it isn't centered.  so, center your loader.

allowing fullscreen is irrelevant.
