KML loaded is already available as the callback to fetchKml():

google.earth.fetchKml(ge, 'http://path/to/your.kml', my_callback);

Though there is no event for when 3D models are finished loading. Nor, for when 
a
NetworkLink has been refreshed.

how about an event for when kml files have finished rendering??? I tried using 
frameend callback but that doesn't really serve our needs. thanks.

This would be perfect to help in the Issue 156 ("Ability to show progress bar 
for
loading large files by network link")

This would be of great help

As a developer who has worked with GoogleEarth for roughly 2 years I can safely 
say 
this feature would be regarded as an absolute GOD SEND for me and my entire 
team. All 
of us need to know when a networkLink is refreshed, or more importantly, fails 
to 
refresh.

event: finishedrendering will be helpful

Yes, I really really need the KmlNetworkLink finishRefresh so I know when to 
update some UI components...

It’s a major high priority issue for us.  We need it to synchronize features 
in a plugin (network link adds and removes features during a refresh) with 
other controls on the page. Refresh completed and/or rendering completed events 
would be priceless.

This feature, along with Issue 260, would be extremely useful for my kmltree 
project. If this feature were added, along with access to the DOM contents of 
NetworkLinks, tree controls could be updated to reflect changes to refreshing 
NetworkLinks. It would also be used to eliminate the costly step of fetching 
NetworkLink contents through a separate XMLHttpRequest when expanding those 
NetworkLink nodes in the tree control.

I realy need this enhancement.  Why has it not been implemented in the past 2 
year.

need an event for when overlays are loaded

This would be amazing, even knowing when the request is sent via the pugin for 
the refresh would be great -knowing when the data has finished would be even 
better!

Approaching 3 years, is it safe to say this feature isn't going to be added?

While not equivalent, a loading event and some kind of download progress 
interface are obviously related, so I'm grouping the issues under this one. 
Network Link transparency is somewhat difficult for exactly the reasons that 
make them beneficial, but we're taking another look at how we could expose this 
data without affecting efficiency or undue complexity.

I am working with a very large kmz file and a simple "still loading" would be 
very helpful.

Loading multi megabyte Sketchup models with detailed textures can take a while 
when using fetchkml. The callback is fine to tell me when it finished loading 
but I need to know the progress. Preferably events but I be quite happy if I 
could poll the object and ask it's progress status.

It is important for users to know what is going on during loading. Did the 
application fail or is it loading something big and worthwhile waiting for.

I work with a lot of models and if I could tell by any means when a model 
finished loading and or failed to load, it would make my world a better place.

This enhancement has been requested for more than 4 years, and it is obviously 
and absolutely important and should have a very high priority.

Why hasn't it been implemented yet?????
?????

hehe2 - only 85 stars, calm down, it is important, maybe google would implement 
this some day...

As far as I can tell, there's been no real development on the earth plugin for 
some time.

-----------------------
Important: We’re moving our support forums for KML and Google Earth API 
technical questions to Stack Overflow:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-earth-browser-plugin/4PxpHEmze3c/rp
L2KRDA6KsJ
-----------------------

So all of us should go there to request the desired enhancement!

Let's take action right now!
