  1. POHaving trouble attaching event listener to a kml layer's polygon
    text
    copied!<p>Using Google Earth I have a loaded kml layer that displays polygons of every county in the US. On click a balloon pop's up with some relevant info about the state (name, which state, area, etc) When a user clicks the polygon I want the information to also pop up on a DIV element somewhere else.</p> <p>This is my code so far.</p> <pre><code>var ge; google.load("earth", "1"); function init() { google.earth.createInstance('map3d', initCB, failureCB); } function initCB(instance) { ge = instance; ge.getWindow().setVisibility(true); ge.getNavigationControl().setVisibility(ge.VISIBILITY_AUTO); ge.getNavigationControl().setStreetViewEnabled(true); ge.getLayerRoot().enableLayerById(ge.LAYER_ROADS, true); //here is where im loading the kml file google.earth.fetchKml(ge, href, function (kmlObject) { if (kmlObject) { // show it on Earth ge.getFeatures().appendChild(kmlObject); } else { setTimeout(function () { alert('Bad or null KML.'); }, 0); } }); function recordEvent(event) { alert("click"); } // Listen to the mousemove event on the globe. google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getGlobe(), 'click', recordEvent); } function failureCB(errorCode) {} google.setOnLoadCallback(init); </code></pre> <p>My problem is that when I change <code>ge.getGlobe()</code> to kmlObject or <code>ge.getFeatures()</code> it doesn't work.</p> <p>My first question is what should I change ge.getGlobe() to to be able to get a click listener when a user clicks on a kml layer's polygon?</p> <p>After that I was planning on using <code>getDescription()</code> or <code>getBalloonHtml()</code> to get the polygons balloons information. Am I even on the right track?</p>
