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.
