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. All responses appreciated.
