It took me hours searching the Internet, but finally I found a solution that works on the lastest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
The following code solves the problem for good:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script>
function setFocusOnFlash() {
var f=swfobject.getObjectById('myFlashObjectId');
if (f) { f.tabIndex = 0; f.focus(); }
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setFocusOnFlash()">
This example assumes the flash is embedded using the SWFObject library. If not, you should set the f variable to the Object or Embed tag which holds the flash movie.
Edited on 5 May 2012: Well, unfortunately it seems that the tabIndex workaround no longer works for all combinations of browser (Chrome/Safari) and operating system.
For instance, currently Chrome 18 on Windows fails.
See the link below, provided by Christian Junk, to get the status of the problem's resolution.
