I've a flash games site, and Im having a lot of difficulties to make it show in internet explorer 8.

When you are playing any flash, the arrow keys that should belong to the flash scroll the page up and down (probably left and right too). This was happening in both ie7 and ie8. I placed the flash inside an iframe, that fixed to IE7, but the problem persists on IE8.

If I change the flash wmode from transparent to window, the page stops scrolling, but this breaks all my menus and banners, that get hidden behind the flash when they expand.

How can I place a flash, with wmode transparent, and make arrow keys work in the expeted way in IE8? Any idea?

A: 

They should work fine out of the box, but you do have to click on the Flash game once first to give it focus.

This is how it works normally, but when wmode is transparent this is not the case.
