Your Blog and MySpace Loops update automatically
Whenever you add photos to your Loop, your blog and Myspace Loop updates automatically. It's a great way to keep your MySpace pics automatically updated.

Customize the size of the Loop
Flash Loops are available for Macintosh and Windows. You can adjust the height and width. We think 144 pixels high looks good ... images will look perfect ... but you're in charge. 

Customize the speed of the Loop
You can also set the speed. A speed of 1 or 2 is good. 1 is slow. 10 is fast. A speed of 0 means the Loop doesn't move.

Where can I post these Flash Loops?
Anywhere that accepts Flash.  You can also use Javascript, or just a plain link if you prefer.

FAQs about the new Loop Slideshow

Can my friends and family still view my Loop using FilmLoop instead of the Loop slideshow?
Yes, viewers can still choose to view your Loop using the FilmLoop player.  By using FilmLoop to view your Loop, your Loop "subscribers" will receive desktop notifications whenever you add new photos to the Loop.  Subscribers can also make comments on your photos, use your Loop as a screensaver, and collaborate on your Loop by adding photos themselves.

How can I change the photos that appear in my Loop slideshow?
It's easy.  Just update the Loop using FilmLoop and your changes will be reflected automatically in your slideshow.

Can the people I share with change the photos in my Loop slideshow?
Only if you want them to.  First, they'll need to open the Loop slideshow in FilmLoop by clicking on the "subscribe" link in the upper right corner. If they don't have FilmLoop, they'll automatically be prompted to download. Once they do, they can add photos and comments (if you turn that option on) and run your Loop as their screen saver.  If you have chosen to not allow changes to your Loop, then they won't be able to make changes, however.  (To change the Loop permissions, right-click the Loop and choose Loop Options and Members.)

How many photos are in the Loop slideshow?
As many as are in your Loop.  You can have up to 200 photos in a Loop, and so you can have up to 200 photos in your Loop slideshow.

Can anyone see my Loop now?  Are my Loops still private?
Your Loops remain private unless you choose to share them with others.  If your Loop contains photos you don't want others to see, we recommend that you do not share the Loop or that you only share it with people you trust.
