Google Tours - Programmatic Events

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What should this feature enhancement do?

I would like to be able to run an external photo slide show from a 
Google Tour. When the camers hovers over each placemark in the tour 
the placemark is animated with <gx:AnimatedUpdate>. 

I would like an event to be fired when this happens so that I can show 
the photo's taken at that placemark in an external SlideShow. So 
showing Placemark A in the tour would show photo A in the slideshow. 

How can I achieve this? 

Could we put in a feature request enabling Google Earth API/KML to fire 
certain events as the tour is playing? Possibly from with the tour data in 
the KML, or by other means?

Are there any known workarounds that produce the similar results?

Not that I am aware of.

I have the same issue (issue 256). I guess I should have read through the 
requests
before submitting mine. Touring is pretty new and I'm pretty sure that they 
will add
this feature in as it would make for some really cool interactions with your 
web page!

So a requested event is balloonopen/balloonclose ?

Not just balloonopen/balloonclose, but rather a way of knowing when any tour
primitive is starting and ending. For example, I would like to trigger and 
event  at
the start and end of gx:FlyTo, gx:AnimatedUpdate, etc.
