Collada model events

[ilikereverb]

Is it possible to get events on a collada model the same way you get
events on a standard placemark? The reference for KmlModel suggests
it is, but I have been unable to get it to work.

My code looks like:

function eventListener(event)
{
alert('Got the Click Event!');
event.preventDefault();
}

function finishBoatLoad(kml) {

var boatPlacemark = kml.getFeatures().getChildNodes().item(1);

var boatModel = boatPlacemark.getGeometry();
var boatOrientation = boatModel.getOrientation();
var boatLocation = boatModel.getLocation();

var la =
_ge.getView().copyAsLookAt(_ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND);
boatLocation.setLatLngAlt(la.getLatitude(), la.getLongitude(),
0.0001);

ge.getFeatures().appendChild(boatPlacemark);

google.earth.addEventListener(boatPlacemark, "click",
eventListener);

}

var MODEL_URL = "http://localhost:4300/data/boat.kmz";
google.earth.fetchKml(ge, MODEL_URL, finishBoatLoad);


Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David,

Unfortunately there's currently no way of catching events on non-point-
geometry Placemarks; we have a feature request for this at:
