Google earth!

It would be a great thing to get photooverlay in web-based Google Earth... I 
hope it
will not take to loong.

Specifically, the ability to respond to a user's "Exit Photo" click would be 
nice. 
E.g. to set up a callback function to do something after the default exit-photo 
behavior.

We need to be able to catch events on other overlays too... specifically, 
screen overlays. I've seen code to try to interpret mouse clicks on the whole 
screen and try to calculate whether they fall within the bounds of a screen 
overlay. It's ugly, and sometimes it's impossible to get correct.

Here is a work around for detecting entering an overlay when a user double 
clicks on the photo in the plugin.

----------------------------------------

google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getWindow(), 'dblclick', function(event) {
if(event.getTarget().getType() == 'KmlPhotoOverlay') {
console.log('in Overlay');
}});

----------------------------------------
