I've been trying to add a kml layer to a map. All I get is TypeError: Object #

has no method 'loadURL' openlayers.js:106. I was using the current version of openlayers from their site and I read that the loadURL method was being depreciated. So I put the 2.11 version on my site, and it worked. Line 24 of openlayers_layer_type_kml.js is making this call of the openlayers library. Thank you.

The loadURL function of OpenLayers library is no longer supported.
You must include the deprecated.js file, available in /libraries/OpenLayers-2.12/lib folder.

The call of the OpenLayers.loadURL() function must be replaced by the new OpenLayers.Request.GET() function.
openlayers/plugins/layer_types/openlayers_layer_type_geojson.js (1 hits)
Line 54: OpenLayers.loadURL(options.url, {}, null, function (response)...
openlayers/plugins/layer_types/openlayers_layer_type_kml.js (1 hits)
Line 24: OpenLayers.loadURL(options.url, {}, null, function (response)...

Due to a very lot deprecated functions in openLayers 2.12, it would be glad if the Drupal OpenLayers Module can be cleaned.

Thanks for the info Adysone.
I've had the same problem logged here http://drupal.org/node/1765852 so I've created a patch (attached to that issue).
