thank you Val! absolutely a five by me!
g

have performed a few updates�
http://www.nearby.org.uk/blog/2007/08/29/flashearthgoogleearth-part-2/

Executive summary:
1. The zoom is a LOT closer matched, thanks to a logarithmic formula.
2. Removed the title and the directions links, makes the balloon looks a bit nicer, couldn�t get it to go transparent for me tho� suggestions welcome.
3. When the network link is now a folder so can choose the size of your popup The previous version is now the �medium� one.

Though the magic of the web, you get 1) and 2) automatically, if want 3) just download it again:

Open in Google Earth (Required: GE 4.2+ Windows)

Cool! This see fine to me Thanks, Barry!
Custom balloonstyle see very good. Center, scale and rotation is ok.
Maybe best uncheck "Allow this folder to be expanded" in network links?

�Bajando earth google 4.2 funciona bien con una suscripcion reciente de EG Plua?

Hi, is this trick broken? When viewing the google earth document http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=986386 I get a black box where the flash document should be and I get the same on my google map http://vcfa.890m.com/CA075_SanFrancisco_BG_UI_Tiles_region.html (click anywhere to make a marker at which point a bubble will popup with a black box where the flash content should be, click the marker again to remove it--if you look at the source code towards the end of the javascript you will see the:

var html = ...
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);

bit where I try to implement this trick with the lat and lon variables being dynamicly updated with the desired location of the marker. I at first thought that I may be implementing the variables wrong in the html but now that I see that the same results are given in the sample google earth document (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=986386) have the flashearth administrators blocked this trick? (perhaps based on how google earth/maps api identifies itself to the server)

Nevermind, turned out the HTML variable had some mistakes in it and the trick only seems to work in Internet Explorer. I have updated the online copy of the map so those who are interested can take a look at a working code example.
