In the absence of real data, my fall-back answer is
always "poor programming skills". :-)

I did it and wrote it in KML and then i tried to import it to google
earth. when I want to import it an error message comes and it was not
be downloaded but a very big *X* sign and a red box appeared exactly
in my region location. What is the problem?

I don't have an ENVI license anymore, so I'm not sure if the ENVI API
has changed. I guess the only thing I can think of is to make sure the
image you open has map info.

It is not work for me. I put the'MG_WRITE_KML' in this directory:
Preferences->default directories->save_add directory.
And I opened an tiff image. In image window I chose tool but there is
no write to kml file. Am I did write things?

If you want to do something more general than overlays and have some
time to invest, you can check out some code i previously posted to
generate KML inside IDL.
I havent worked on it much since then, but i managed to use it to do
several kinds of things in KML. It's particularly useful if you need
loop over certain kinds of KML objects, creating a lot of them from an
array of data, for example.
