I don't believe the API itself provides functionality to control the opacity of a tile layer. However, CSS does, and if you can figure out where in the DOM tree those tiles are, there would be nothing to stop you from setting their opacity property. This would, in theory, work with *any* type of image: gif, png, jpeg, etc. It alters the opacity of the entire image the same, but would probably get you what you want.
Finding the tiles in the DOM tree will be the hard part though, I think. -G On Sep 4, 2009, at 2:03 PM, Lara Pagano wrote: > My PNG's are not ransparent.
