User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
In the URL specified above, typing focus is only allowed once you manually
click on the flash movie. I need it to have focus when the page first loads.
I can do this in IE by using
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('FLASHID').focus();">
but this does not work for Mozilla Firefox (or netscape, or safari, etc).
Firefox's JavaScript console says "Error: document.getElementById
("FLASHID").focus is not a function.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to above URL.
2. try typing without clicking anything.
3.
Actual Results:
The flash movie does not have the focus, and the key presses do not get sent
to the flash movie.
Expected Results:
Sent the focus to the flash movie, and allowed typing to be 'heard' by the
flash movie. If successful, the characters typed will show up.

In the W3C DOM, the following HTML elements have a focus() method: <input>, <select>, <textarea>, <a>. So <embed> and <object> cannot be focused programmaticaly. See also bug 277666, and I'm pretty sure we have older bugs on this... In any case, not a layout issue.
