Thanks for the suggestions...I got it fiured out now. I ended up saving the layers as a standard PSD file, then importing it into Fireworks and saving as it's native PNG. The PNG, I can import directly into Flash and still maintain the layer integrity.

I think the Illustrator route would have worked best, but my situation was that the site concept was given to me in Photoshop. The concept, itself was EXTREMELY complex with over 200 layers. I ended up joining and flattening what I could and it still only reduce to just under 150 layers. I just didn't want to have to try to re-render that in Illustrator or save out one layaer at a time.

Let me know if anyone has tried this method, it worked well for me....:-)

Thanks for eveyone's help, it definitely pointed me in the right direction, and I found the starting point for my thought process to figure this problem out.
