time slider

[tugce]

Hi everyone,

I developped a fire simulation with google earth plugin, user chooses
start point and direction, then fire starts to spread accordingly,
drawing an ellipse and the ellipse grows every 5 seconds in the given
direction.
My problem is: I am supposed to add a time slider functionality to my
application. I checked out the following link:
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/tour-slider.html

But I realised that this example uses a ready "static/
grandcanyon_tour.kmz" file. Is it possible to record my ellipses
dynamically, so that I could observe at a given time what the ellipse
looks like?

Help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Tugce,

Tours and timelines are two different things, and it sounds like
what you want is a time line. Check out these two threads:
