ok the problem is basically solved now... all i had to do was change the type of block to a javascript/html from a simple js block, and it works in IE and FF. for some reason, when i typoed and said the path was "/foum/clock.swf/" IE displayed the clock but FF did not. wierd huh? anyway, now its centered perfectly if anyone wants to know how to embed a clock in a simple js/html (*a plain html block won't work!!*) block, heres the code!

i had the width and height set to 162 to fit my block, but you have to change that to work for you... all you have to do to get your clock working is change the "/forum/clock.swf" to the path that your clock is in, and "clock.swf" to the filename and it will work
http://www.adamdorman.com/flash_clocks1.php is great for flash clocks

is this a version 0.7.2 block or should this work with 0..6.5 ?
I get the block of proper size but no clock...
Any ideas?

[Moocat]

you need to download the clock file (of course) and upload it to the directory specified. also name it clock.swf and it should work fine.

[Moocat]

remember also, put the code in an html/javascript block, and make it without a title bar or background. then all you have to do is choose the clock and set the dimensions right and it should work. if not, maybe you don't have macromedia flash? try it in both firefox and IE see if it work in either, because you have to install macromedia flash seperately
