Afghanistan News Overview in Google Earth
As part of a news feature called "Crossroads Afghanistan" CBCNews.Ca has created an excellent Google Earth tour which describes the situation in Afghanistan. The GE tour is narrated by a news commentator and has nice photo overlays to illustrate points, and zooms in to the different areas of the country while describing conditions there. The tour is embedded in their web site using the Google gadget for embedding tours with the GE plugin - watch it here 
(you may need to scroll down the page a bit). It's well done and well worth watching (I learned several things I didn't know about Afghanistan). via tweet by @googleearth

I'm struggling with the fade in/out effect used in this Tour for photos (looks like screen overlays). The few tours I've seen that use this technique are all embedded in the plug-in so I can't see the code. Are there are tours or bits of code available to help?
