So lets say you want to change a few things in your Myspace layout, and you don’t feel like visiting lovemyflash to copy and paste the whole code again. Some lovemyflash layout codes come with extra settings you can change within its URL. They are found after the "lovemyflash.swf" text. You may see lovemyflash.swf appear multiple times, this means that you have to change both codes afterwards in order to stay consistant. So lets take a look at an example code to make more sense of this.

data="http://www.lovemyflash.com/lovemyflash.swf?
layoutID=39&myurl=123456&ColorVR1=0x129DDD&ColorVR2=0xCC0000&CustomButton=Heart&themeID=82">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.lovemyflash.com/lovemyflash.swf?
layoutID=39&myurl=123456&ColorVR1=0x129DDD&ColorVR2=0xCC0000&CustomButton=Heart&themeID=82" />

Lots of things going on here, but you can find this in your About Me Section. You can see that lovemyflash.swf shows up twice in this layout. The part you need to pay attention to is the ColorVR1, and the ColorVR2, which are both highlighted in Blue. Those are the color HTML values, you can change these colors by typing in a color code at those locations. You must make sure that ColorVR1 says the same color value for both parts, and Color VR2 says the same color Value for both parts. 

In the example above, it show ColorVR1=0×129DDD twice, and ColorVR2=0xCC0000 twice. Now you want to choose your own colors so first you should head over to this Color Website. You will see a ball and a bunch of colors you can slide to, Slide the ball and the arrow to chose your color. The HTML color value will show up in a white box above the slider arrow. This is what you will need when you place the color in your layout.

After you select a color, highlight the whole box, and right click and press CTRL+C. Go back to your Myspace Code and insert those colors into your layout. In the example below the colors I chose for ColorVr1 is 333333 and ColorVR2 is stil CC0000

data="http://www.lovemyflash.com/lovemyflash.swf?
layoutID=39&myurl=123456&ColorVR1=0x333333&ColorVR2=0xCC0000&CustomButton=Star&themeID=82">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.lovemyflash.com/lovemyflash.swf?
layoutID=39&myurl=123456&ColorVR1=0x333333&ColorVR2=0xCC0000&CustomButton=Star&themeID=82" />

There you have it! Now you have just learned how to edit the code on your own. Guess what else you can chage?

data="http://www.lovemyflash.com/lovemyflash.swf?
layoutID=39&myurl=123456&ColorVR1=0×333333&ColorVR2=0xCC0000&CustomButton=Star&themeID=82">

The word Star tells the layout to show a picture of a star when you put your mouse over a number. You can change the word Star to the word Heart and it will show a picture of a heart instead. Remember since lovemyflash.swf shows up twice, you’ll have to change the word Star twice in order for it to work.

Well there wasn’t any news as to why Lovemyflash stopped working last month but now the site and server is faster now, and all layouts are working. Here you can read our review of lovemyflash.

Update July 23, 2007

We have just been informed that lovemyflash is now working, you can read our post for more information.

Around June 24th, LoveMyFlash layouts everywhere stopped working. The Myspace page would either take an incredibly long time to load or not load at all. The main website itself does work but has a slow response time. Does this mean LoveMyFlash.com is getting too much server load or is the hosting company having problems with their servers? No blog post about this issue has been made yet so we will wait until further developments.

Update October 9, 2007

Well whatever happened has been fixed now and is back to normal. You can continue to use lovemyflash layouts.

I get so tired of all the lame, crappy, myspace layout sites out there. Most Myspace layout sites are either extremely hard to navigate or provide horribly designed crud only a mother would post on the fridge. So now we send in the experts at LoveMyFlash. LoveMyflash does a complete makeover on how sites are designed. Now instead of static pages full of glittery mess, we get a fluid motion page which focuses on the content. It takes about 2 big lines of code in the About Me section and the Who I’d Like to Meet section to add it to the page. One thing to remember is that you HAVE to add your myspace URL before you create the code, or else your page will have empty graphics and wrong information. MyFlash unfortunately doesn’t provide the code with shrinking picture sizes in the comments area. So instead  here’s a code you can put at the bottom of the Who I’d Like to Meet section so that your friend’s comments won’t mess up your layout.

Paste This Code at the Bottom of Who I’d Like to Meet Section

<style>   body table tr table tr td.text table tr td.text table tr td table tr td img {width:200px;}    body table tr table tr td.text table tr
td.text table tr td table tr td div img {width:80px; height:20px;}     body table tr table tr td.text table tr td.text table tr td table tr td
a img {width:100; height:auto;}       </style>
