 * Hello world…
 * I’m try to create my themplate integrating swf (flash elements)… for the background
   i have a SWF that is the size (or is resized)of the document (all the html page).
   
   So editing the CSS i’m tring to move #page but i can’t find the way to center
   this div when the position is set to absolute.
 *     ```
       #page {
       	background-color: white;
       	text-align: center;
                  position:absolute;
                  top:300px;
                  left:0px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Is there anything i can do… like:
    `left:50%-300px;` Well in concution how do
   you center and div when his positions is set to absolute?
