Sign in automatically with FlashVars
Both web downloads of MappedUp support automatic signin to your user account by sending a single flashvar 'link' to them. The flashvar should contain the url of your personal RSS feed, which always looks like this:
http://www.mappedup.com/rss/user/YOUR_NICKNAME/
For an example of how to send the flashvar to the SWF files, click 'map up this thread' above here, then choose for fullscreen, and then check out the source of that page.

Could you write an example that I could copy and paste to my blog?
Jeroenw (Aug 22, 2006):
Yes:
<embed src="mappedup8.swf" width="900" height="400" flashvars="link=http://www.mappedup.com/rss/user/JeroenW/"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

This version will remove the annoying "click here to activate plugin" warning. You'll have to copy the UFO.js from the download to your site as well:
<script type="text/javascript" src="ufo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = {
movie:"mappedup.swf",
width:"100%",
height:"400px",
flashvars:"link=http://www.mappedup.com/rss/user/JeroenW/" };
UFO.create(FO, "mappedup");
</script>

When I get the feed using my nickname, I get a feed that is completely different than the ones I added.
Is it possible for more than one user to have the same nickname?
