The cleanest thing would be to listen for zoom changes of the map and
remove/add the layers accordingly. This can be done by assigning an event
listener to each layer that checks if the map scale is still within the
layer's min/maxscale and drop it accordingly.
Something like this (untested):
function isLayerAvailable (event){
if (!event.zoomChanged ) {
return;
}
var layer = this;
var mapScale = layer.map.getScale();
if ( mapScale > layer.maxScale || mapScale < layer.minScale){
layer.map.removeLayer(layer);
//TODO: add the other layer here
}
}
map.layers[0].events.on({
moveend: isLayerAvailable,
scope: this
});
