Hello

Having upgraded the GE Plugin from version 6.1.0.5001 to 6.2.0.5905 I noticed that balloons are not shown within a KML tour, anymore.

I have KML's following the guidelines from the KML Reference (balloonVisibility). They used to work with version 6.1.

You can check it yourself by loading the Example KML from the KML Reference into the Tour Playing Example on Google Code Playground.

I checked it in Google Earth Pro 6.1, 6.2 and also in Google Earth Plugin 6.1 and 6.2. It is only Google Earth Plugin 6.2 that the balloons are not working.

It seems to be a bug (regression) to me.

Please help resolving this issue. Thanks in advance,
Richie.
