jQuery offset issue: not changing the position of a SWF

Question

Hello,

I have written code to overlay a SWF above a HTML button. I use the offset function from jQuery to get the coordinates and move the SWF. Unfortunately, it seems like the SWF do not get moved.

var offset = $("#button").offset();

$("#SWF").offset(offset);
$("#SWF").css({'left':offset.left, 'top': offset.top});
$("#SWF").offset({ top: 10, left: 30});

I have tried those 3 lines, and the offset never changed, I do not know why.

I hope someone could please help me.

EDIT:

I realized that:

$("#SWF").css({'left': offset.left, 'top': offset.top});

is working but actually I was using DOMWindow, I had to change the position and the z-index. I still have one issue, the SWF is not directly above the button, it's right underneath it. Does anyone know why please?

Thank you very much,

Rudy

Set wmode to "transparent" on the SWF, and make sure that the z-index of the SWF is higher than the z-index of the button.
