This is a fairly open ended question so vague responses are welcomed. I am working on a flash / google maps application that is fairly involved. Basically it involves tracking changes to a geographical area over time, so the whole map component is inside a display object with play controls, clock controls, and option controls.
What I would like to be able to do is to simply place a Sprite / display object above the map layer, but below the markers and info windows. Right now I have to use home grown markers and info windows, because otherwise the info windows will occasionally be obscured by custom map controls, which I am trying to avoid. Ideally, I'd like to just create a custom overlay with the foreground set to a sprite that I have complete control over and aligned to some corner of the map at all times (not something aligned to a lat/lng which moves when the map moves.) I can then add markers and the info window on top of that. Is there a standard approach for doing this? Maybe I just missed something and there is an easy way to place a display object at a fixed screen coordinate above the map, but below the controls. I was thinking maybe there's a way to do this with a custom control, by setting the control to be a display object, and aligning it with part of the screen? Has anyone done this? Anyway, sorry for the vagueness.
