In case anyone is interested, we ended up mimicking the Close button in design using standard HTML and Javascript but we were forced to position it on the left side of the Full Screen button, which is completely the other way around from Google Maps itself.
For example: http://www.funda.nl/koop/kaart/#/amsterdam/ Click on a house marker and select Street View in the tooltip to open Google Street View. Karen, The technique to get HTML elements overlayed on top of Flash content is called iframe shims (see: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/streetview/iframeshim.html) and the default way works fine in IE, but we couldn't get it to work perfectly in Chrome either. This is a known bug, see: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15840 Can't get it right all the time, I'm afraid.
