Ok, I think I figured it out, it seems to be working, but would be glad to hear your insights:
<?php // Loop which loads the slideshow</p>
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), false, '' );
?>
<div class="mslide mslide-<?php echo $i; ?>" style="background:url(<?php echo $src[0]; ?>) no-repeat right top;">
<p> </div><!-- .mslide --></p>
<p> <?php $i++; ?></p>
<p> <?php endwhile; ?>
Yeah, that’s right, you just get the URL for the featured image and use inline CSS to set it as the background image.
Those paragraph tags could be a problem though, did they get added on accident?
Yes, the editor added them in.
Thanks

OK then that should work fine, I’ve done the same without any issues.
