For some reason i cannot get this swf file to show at 90% width and height. i have tried adding a style sheet in the header to explicity set the html and body to 100% but this still does not help. can anyone see if there is a problem in the code?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

That may happen because of the <center> element that doesn't have a height and width specified. Remember to specify dimensions for all containers if you use percentages, otherwise you may end up with 90% of 0 or a default value.
