I have a Flash application that use JavaScript for keyboard inputs. At some point the user have to click on a textfield inside the swf. Flash then takes focus away form the JavaScript. I solved this by calling the following Javascript function from Flash>

function setBrowserFocus() { window.focus(); }

This works perfect in IE but not in Firefox 3.6 I made sure that the "Raise or lower windows" is checked in Firefox options.
