Image plugin on top of google map

Hi chrispen ^^
Never tried it but i see two things that may help you:
- Have you try using zorder on map and plugin, with map zorder<plugin zorder ?
- Try to find on the forum something about the wmode of your vtour calling script in the HTML, and settle it to "opaque".

If I take two minutes to think about it, I'm pretty sure that you can use this following solution, it may work:

- Create a background for your map and set it to be the map parent.
- Call your map where you want on the background
- Create your plugin and place it with parent settled to bakground...

Like :

<!-- the background for the map -->


<plugin name="background" keep="true" x="0%" y="-0%" url="img/background.png" width="30%" height="prop" align="center"  zorder="0" visible="true" />


<!-- the map itself -->


<plugin name="maps" 
            url="plugins/googlemaps.swf" 
            keep="true"
	    zorder="50"
	    parent="background"
            keep="true"
            align="center"
            x="-1.7%"
            y="-2.2%"
            width="93%"
            height="91%"
  >


<!-- Then the image plugin you want to show over the map -->


<plugin name="mybutton" keep="true" x="50%" y="50%" zorder="100" parent="background" visible="true" url="img/mybutton.png" align="center"  />

Doing this your image plugin will align on the background plugin, but will be over the map ^^
Hope it could help !!

Feed backi please if it works

Regards.

Hi,

I've tried it and so far all I get is a squished image that isn't positioned quite right,

thanks, yes, there is a bug regrading placing child plugin elements on the googlemaps plugin (and also on the videoplayer plugin),
this will be fixed in the next release,

as workaround it would be possible to add - scalechildren="true" - to the googlemaps plugin (the child elements will not be scaled, but this fixes the bug),

best regards,
Klaus
