Hi Zoran,

All objects deriving from KmlObject (pretty much everything) have a
getKml() method that returns the KML string representing that object.
You can call this function and do whatever you need with it. Here's
the starting point for the KmlObject reference:

http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/reference/interface_kml_object.html

To enumerate through the root-level KML features in your plugin
instance, use ge.getFeatures()

If you want users to be able to save the file locally, you'll probably
need some sort of server-side scripting. If you're comfortable with
server-side scripting and AJAX topics, I could give you some
suggestions on how to implement this.

Hello Roman,

I need the whole kml document that representing the whole setup on
globe (placemarks, paths, layers...) with all objects so. Is there any
way get root kml document so when I open KML file I will get the same
globe features?
Or only your suggestion to browse all objects and get partial kml
files.
In that case how to put them togheter in one master KML file?

Thank you for your time.

Zoran.

Hi zoka,

The only way to do that is to add one root element, say a KmlDocument
object, and subsequently add all other features (point placemarks,
paths, etc.) to that element. You could then do getKml() on the
KmlDocument to get the full KML string.
