The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) delivers intense femtosecond pulses in the extreme ultra violet (XUV) and soft X-ray spectral range for experiments in material science or time resolved atomic physics. These XUV pulses are generated by the interaction of ultra relativistic electron bunches and the spontaneously emitted synchrotron radiation within an undulator. Due to the statistic behavior of the spontaneous emission of light the spectral distribution of the FEL pulses changes from shot to shot. By seeding the FEL process with an external laser field these fluctuation can be decreased. At FLASH a direct seeding scheme for wavelengths below 40 nm is presently realized. This talk will present the concepts and the diagnostics to control the transverse overlap of the seed and the electron beam.
