I am trying to be able to overlap a link bar with links over pics being flashed in the background similar to the site
http://www.carlyle.com/
or
http://www.threesquared.com/
any idea how to as even having the link bar set as upfront in VSD the flash always comes out on top.

I don't see any flash on your site.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The first site uses Jquery rather than Flash.
Eric, have you ever overlapped a slideshow with another item (menu, banner, etc.)?
Maybe one of these might be helpful...

**Keep in mind, your Flash backgrounds won't show up on iphones, ipads and some other mobile devices.

Eric, you make me lazy. I don't bother learning things anymore... I just assume there will be an example on your site when I need it

If there IS a firestarter flash, wasn't there some trick with wmode and transparent? Haven't used Firestarter for ages, I might be wrong though.

Add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.
Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
Example
Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param>
Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

<object width=”120? height=”600?>
<param name=”movie” value=”myflash.swf“> <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
<embed src=”myflash.swf” wmode=transparent pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”120? height=”600?>
