The article seems to be down. But was this mentioned?

the problem with most flash-internal scrollbars is that flash content needs to catch focus in order for scroller to work. It needs to be clicked first.
Does anyone have a solution to javascript-focus flash content?

rafalski, that's only a problem in context of using the scroll-wheel on the mouse, in which case all you need to do is make the user click once somewhere on the flash page.

I know, fate, but still, it would be nice. I can easily JS-focus by targetting OBJECT (IE), never could focus on EMBED (non-IE browsers). Never tried it on a satay or swfobject though.
Another problem with focus on Flash is that it steals it from the browser and firefox keyboard shortcuts stop working which is annoying I must say, but this is a bit OT.
