multiple mouse events not triggering - google-maps

Question

I am using google maps api. I want to have two mouse events ready to trigger at one time. Below is a code snipit.
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var polyOptions = {
strokeColor: '#000000',
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 3 }
poly = new google.maps.Polyline(polyOptions);
poly.setMap(map);
// Add a listener for the click event
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', addLatLng);
}
function addLatLng(event) {
var path = poly.getPath();
if(!draw)
{
path.push(event.latLng);
path.push(event.latLng);
draw = true;
// Add a new marker at the new plotted point on the polyline.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: event.latLng,
title: '#' + path.getLength(),
map: map });
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove', moveTrackLine);
}
else
{
path.push(event.latLng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: event.latLng,
title: '#' + path.getLength(),
map: map });
draw = false;
}
}
function moveTrackLine(event) {
var path = poly.getPath();
// replace the old point with a new one to update the track
path.pop();
path.push(event.latLng);
}
When I click on the map the first time I see a marker placed on the map. Then when the mouse is moved I see the polyline update and follow my curser correctly. Next if I click on the map I do not see a marker placed on the map nor do I ever go into the addLatLng function. Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Answer 1

set the clickable-option of the polyline to false.
The issue: As soon as the mousemove-event is applied to the map, you will not be able to click on the map anymore, because below the mouse-cursor is always the polyline.
When you set the clickable-option of the polyline to false, the polyline does not respond to mouse-events and the click-event will be passed to the map.
