Hi Laundryraccoon-
I'd suggest going the route of the custom overlay.
To get it below the markers, define getDefaultPane like this:
public override function getDefaultPane(map:IMap):IPane {
return map.getPaneManager().getPaneById(PaneId.PANE_OVERLAYS);
}
To get it to always display in a fixed location, then just position it
at an x/y and never change it.
Let me know if you run into issues implementing that.
