The layers have a z-index heirarchy, so the lowest elements (e.g. the skeleton) do not appear above higher elements (e.g. the skin).
If I have understood your question, you mean could I create a linear heirarchy where for example everything above a certain point could be switched off? But there are situations where for example somebody might want to show all the muscles of the face (elements very high up the heirarchy) but not show the muscles of the neck (lower elements). However, if you mean "can every layer be given a static z-index" the answer is yes absolutely. They are already arranged into a linear heirarchy in photoshop (all ~150 layers). However, there are subtle rules which govern their display - for example: "IF layer X is shown, layer Y must also be shown" "IF layer X is shown, layer Y must be hidden" "IF layer X is shown, layer Z must be shown and Y must be hidden" etc. In V2 controlling the z-index and the rules was much easier, as show(); and hide(); could be used and you could insert layers at a specific z-index (a bit like the MCVarray, only the array is dynamic so if a layer is removed the whole array moves down 1, messing up the z-index order). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
