There's no way that your text is going to "wrap" as the text and the object are in adjacent table cells. I suggested two possible solutions in a previous post (I even wrote out the code for you). You only need a little knowledge of HTML and CSS to do this kind of thing. gruss - spike

I put them in to a table because i couldnt get the text to wrap around the flash file and thats the only way i could seperate them. im not trying to wrap text around the swf in a table. the idea of content management is so people with no HTML and CSS skills can lay out the content, If they new how to use css then there is no point using cmsms is there. I know how to do it with css and build all my web sites with dreamweaver and css with no problems. the problem is the people i am building this site for want to be able to enter content and lay it out with the content management tools at hand wich is the media plug in for swf files. the media plug in is not working the way it should eg: align left or right.

Can't say I agree with all your comments regarding cms - however -
try adding a class to an object tag in your css - something like this
object.swf-right { float: right; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 20px; }
add it to your style sheet, and add it to the drop down menu in tinyMCE
your customer can then apply it at will to any "object"
