Thanks for the insight!
>From what I understand the fromLattLngToPaneCoords() method takes a
LatLng object and returns a point. And This point is a representation
of the latlng location on the coordinate system?
For example:
public override positionOverlay(zoom:Boolean):void
{
var myPoint:Point = this.pane.fromLatLngToPaneCoords(new LatLng(10,
10));
this.myImage.x = point.x;
this.myImage.y = point.y;
}
Now every time the position is changed, the variable point is created
to and will be different. But everytime it is a point that corresponds
to the lat/long 10, 10? And by setting x and y propeties of my image
to this point, my image will align its NE corner to this point?
This correlation is where I am confused:)
Any clarification in this regard would be swell!
Again thanks for your help!
