Hey David- I don't think we have an API solution for you, but I could help with a workaround. How is your Overlay shaped? Could you simply use math to determine whether the click was on the tiles or on an overlay? You could have an array of all your overlays, then for each click, iterate through the overlays and check to see if the clicked point was inside the overlay. You can do a point-in-poly calculation or point-in-bounds. That might be safer than relying on order of click events.
What do you think, could that work? - pamela On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 7:26 AM, David Wilson<[email protected]> wrote: > > any update on this? > > thanks! > > On May 25, 5:09 pm, pamela fox <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi David- >> >> Thanks for posting.
