wmode=transparent Flash objects in Firefox become inactive after scrolling #522

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an html page with several Flash objects on it.
2. Set wmode parameter to transparent for all Flash objects.
3. Make sure the page is tall enough to enable several pages of scrolling 
vertically.
4. Open the html page in the latest version of Firefox.
5. Scroll down to the bottom, then up again.
6. Notice that some of the embedded Flash objects have now become inactive and 
they need to be clicked once before any interaction can be made with them.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Flash objects shouldn't lose focus and react normally even after scrolling. In 
this case some (but not all) embedded Flash objects need to be clicked once 
before they would acknowledge mouse events.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using swfobject 2.2, Firefox 3.6.12. SWF files were published for Flash 
Player 8. Tested on Windows 7 Professional.

Please provide any additional information below.
In other major browsers it works as expected, transparency will not cause Flash 
objects to lose focus on certain events.

This is an issue with Flash Player and the browser, not SWFObject; all 
SWFObject does is embed the SWF in the page. Setting focus on the SWF is not 
part of SWFObject's feature set.
