I read the previous discussion on this, but I'm still confused about how to get the kml variable

In a previous discussion, Roman wrote

fraser,

You should be able to use the getFeatures() method on the 'kml'
variable just as you would with the 'ge' variable, i.e.:

var firstChildInKml = kml.getFeatures().getFirstChild();

From there you could traverse the object model as needed.

I've tried this and other suggestions here every which way, but I'm
still unable to traverse the kml tree. All I want to do is get to the
placemark that's been loaded with my kml. When I try fraser's method
of iterating through the kml dom, I get blocked by errors like
"getFeature not supported".

When I use

var features = ge.getGlobe().getFeatures().getChildNodes();

all I get is my overlay and my document.

How do I get to that kml variable? I've burned through a lot of dead
ends on that one too.

Hi dmgreer,

Can I ask - are you loading the kml via a network link or fetchKml?
I ask because there are a few caveats to networks that could be the
cause of your problems.

It's fetchKml. There are network links inside the kml that's fetched,
but that's probably not what you're asking.

Hi,

That could be it - are the placemarks you are trying to access loaded
via the networklinks inside the kml?
The reason being that networklinks are a bit of a 'dead end' when it
come to traversing the object model.

If this is the case is then read this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-earth-browser-plugin/browse_thread/thread/bd1f4deeccc8d95c/0c6ab1982c467569?lnk=gst&q=
as it explains how to get at the kml data that is loaded by the
networkink.

If this doesn't sound like the right thing then could you post an
example of a page? Or the kml file you are trying to traverse?
It is much easier to help if one can see directly what is happening!

Regards,

F.

The placemark isn't coming in through the networklink. Here's my kml:

Hang on, I found it. I had a Folder without a name inside my main
Folder, so when traverseKml went through on the second recursion it
blew up on node.getName() and returned nothing. I took that folder out
and now I'm getting back the KmlFolder and the KmlPlacemark node,
which is what I was looking for.

Thanks for listening, anyway.
