KmlScreenOverlay Buttons!!? real? how?
Any other way to put anything flash or html over GEPlugin?
A:
A little unclear what you're after.
If you're trying to make KML Screen Overlays, may I suggest you check out the tutorial and utility at http://freegeographytools.com/2007/the-kml-screen-overlay-maker-utility.
If you're asking whether you can put, say, a Form Submit button on top of a map in a browser, then sure. You can use divs to layer all sorts of stuff in a browser.
A really good example of this is the Beer Mapping Project. Check out their New Zealand page and see the various items placed on top of it, including buttons, text and lists.
Hope that helps!

@Mark: +1 for the tutorial on screen overlays, but -1 for the bum steer on using divs to layer stuff over a plug-in. It won't work, unless you use an "iframe shim" workaround.

Yes they're real. But they're not as easy to use as HTML buttons... e.g. you can't just give them a text label. You have to use an image.
how?
How to use them - see the tutorial that @Mark linked to.
