Interfacepublic interface IStaticLayer extends ILayer, flash.events.IEventDispatcher

IStaticLayer is an interface that allows DisplayObjects to be added to the map. StaticLayer children will not be moved when the map is panned or zoomed. It can be used to add logo's or to show a splash screen.

Method detail
addOverlayAbsolute()method
public function addOverlayAbsolute(child:DisplayObject):void

addOverlayAbsolute adds a DisplayOject to the static layer using the absolute x and y positions assigned to the DisplayObject.

Parameters
child:DisplayObject

Example
Display image at 25,25: 
               var logo1:Image = new Image();
               logo1.load("http://www.arcwebservices.com/v2006/images/home/free_trial.gif");
               logo1.x = logo1.y = 25;
               map.staticLayer.addOverlayAbsolute(logo1);

addOverlayRelative()method 
public function addOverlayRelative(child:UIComponent, horizontalAlignment:String, verticalAlignment:String, horizontalOffset:Number = 0, verticalOffset:Number = 0):void

addOverlayRelative adds a DisplayOject to the static layer using the relative parameters passed into the method. This allows for constrained layout of static items.

Parameters
child:UIComponent — The UIComponent object being added to the static layer
 
horizontalAlignment:String — The string value of the horizontal alignment -- "left", "right", "center"
 
verticalAlignment:String — The string value of the vertical alignment -- "top", "bottom", "middle"
 
horizontalOffset:Number (default = 0) — The numerical value by which to offset the object from the horizontal alignment (i.e., 20 pixels from the left)
 
verticalOffset:Number (default = 0) — The numerical value by which to offset the object from the vertical alignment (i.e., 20 pixels from the top)

removeOverlay()method 
public function removeOverlay(child:DisplayObject):void

Removes the DisplayObject child from the static layer.

Parameters
child:DisplayObject — The DisplayObject to be remove.

Example

               map.staticLayer.addOverlayRelative(logo2, "right", "bottom", 25, 25);

removeOverlayByName()method 
public function removeOverlayByName(name:String):void

Removes the DisplayObject child from the static layer based on its name.

Parameters
name:String — the name of the DisplayObject.
