I'd try to create a div around the movie and set the width for 100%, and use "padding: 0 auto 0 auto;" in the css

Acrikey, what's not centering for you? The entire outer div or just the flash?

Because I put it in my DW and it's all centered.

Is there something in a css file that might be causing this to not center?

When Mark said to set the width to 100%, he meant of the div. You set the width of the object to 100%. That won't work. Keep that to 329px (original flash width).

Around the object, place a div something like <div style="width:100%; text-align:center;"><div style="width:329px; margin: 0 auto; text-align:left;">OBJECT HERE</div></div> and see what it does. Didn't test, just something i thought of by the fly.
