Re: Mouse Over Highlight Polyline From Outside V3 Script

[Chad Killingsworth]

As long as flightpath is the global variable that references your
polyline,

<a href="" onMouseOver="flightPath.setOptions({strokeOpacity:
1,strokeWeight:4});">Linked Text</a>

More than that and we'll need to see a link to your map.

Hello,

Many thanks for that. The map code is here.


Tried what you suggested but it didn't work. I think maybe flightPath
isn't set up as a global. I've read this
http://blog.ramonlechuga.com/2010/08/12/private-public-properties-for-javascript/
but can't make head nor tail of it. Understand the principle of
public / private vars just usually don't work with javascript.

Many Thanks,
Richard

Was there supposed to be a link? I don't see it in the groups

Yup flightpath isn't global. Your "var flightpath = " statement is
inside your initialize function. Outside your function, put "var
flightpath;", then inside you can do "flightpath = ". It should work
after that.
