Setting focus to an embedded Flash movie/HTML embed element using Javascript/jQuery

Question

Is there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.

I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?

I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.

Thanks!

I've tried to do this too, and ended up to a nice solution using jquery:

var gotoflash=jQuery("#flash_file").offset().top;jQuery("html:not(:animated),body:not(:animated)").animate({ scrollTop: gotoflash}, 1000);

where: <*div id="flash_file"> flash object code here <*/div>
