Having trouble using KML overlays for states and countries

[Michael Kaufman]

My goal is to have a map which has different states and countries display with overlays using KML. I have tried to incorporate a KMl file from a generator (http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/colorit2.php?action=color&dset=FRANCE&tmap=RAMP) but nothing happens when I link up the KML file into my map (I have tested and proven that my method to call the KML file works with other KMl files).

Ideally I would want my map to function similarily to how this image looks.

Is it possible?

Can't see your KML, can't see your map

I did exactly this but unfortunately the work isn't public. here's the
strategy;

1. you need one big kml layer for the top level map
2. you need individual layers for each region
3. you will bind click event listeners for top layer that hide itself
and turn on later for the child region
4. do the same for the smaller region, mutatis mutandis

I'm writing on my phone so I can't been more verbose :(
