Pamela, Thanks for the feedback. Here's what I'm trying to do. I created a map some time ago of custom regions/overlays. Which can be view here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=118030482681960934856.00000112fd16ed0837e83&z=11.
I want to take these custom overlays and display them in a Flash application using the Google Flash API. The problem is I cannot get the coordinates of the custom regions/overlays. You mentioned in your response, re-creating the object in the Flash API by viewing the KML's XML. How do I do this? I do not see a link for GeoRSS or KML. I need a little guidance. Again, thank you for the feedback. Allyn On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 1:59 AM, pamela fox <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Allyn- > > The answer isn't necessarily that simple.
