Flash focus in CFM page

[lucidtech]

I have built a few flash remoting programs that load in a CFM page. They work perfectly, aside from one small problem...
Sometimes they seem to have focus already when the page loads, and the hover effects work automatically. However, sometimes I'm finding I have to click the Flash program first in order for the hover effects to work.

The hover effects are just simple "on (rollover)" functions. Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure it can be done, I've seen many flash based nav bars that already have focus when the page loads.

If you need a link to an example page, I can provide one.

Javascript "focus()" - but I'm not sure if this works on all browsers.

I was really hoping something like this would work.. anyone have any ideas on what I should change? (referring to the onmouseover in the object tag)

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"

width="350" height="270" id="temp" align="middle" onmouseover="document.this.focus()">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="movie" value="temp.swf?flash_id=<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#333333" /><embed src="temp.swf?flash_id=<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>" wmode="transparent" quality="high" bgcolor="#333333" width="350" height="270" name="temp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="

</object>

That will only work on IE
