Changing opacity of shapes overlay

[rinogo]

Hello, everyone!

I've been trying to figure out how to change the opacity of the shapes
overlay (e.g. circles, squares, polygons, and polylines that can be
drawn on a map). I've had no success thus far. Can someone with more
experience shed some light on how this might be accomplished?

Thanks so much! :)

Working example:

testCircle = new google.maps.Circle({
center: cTest,
map: myMap,
radius: rad, //km
fillColor: "#3333FF",
fillOpacity: 0.3,
strokeColor: "#3333FF",
strokeOpacity: 0.5
});

Hi Radina (and everyone else),

Thanks so much for your answer. I probably should have clarified that
for what I'm attempting to do, I cannot use the opacity of specific
shapes. My shapes have to all have an opacity of 1.0, and I need to
reduce the opacity of the entire shapes overlay at once.

"Why?," you may ask? I've explained my approach here:

Any thoughts?

Hi Rich:

Can you send us a link (see Posting Guidelines)?

Here are few tips:

- Declare global variable to hold current opacity
- Add listener that will listen for events which trigger opacity
change.

Thanks, Radina
