Okay, I see. You could just remove only the objects (markers), and then the infowindow should close only if you've removed its associated marker.
If you really want to know when the user has pressed the drag buttons, you could just use a custom control in place of the normal pan control, and trigger events when people click it. There's a demo in the gallery: http://gmaps-samples-flash.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/PanControlDemo/PanControlDemo.html You could also file a feature request to have us trigger events for when users click on the native control (PAN_LEFT, e.g.). - pamela On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 1:56 AM, Aaron Donohue <[email protected]>wrote: > > Oh and I forgot to answer your first question, "Could you use > DRAG_START and DRAG_END events to detect the user moving the > map?"
