Is the problem that you can't run Javascript at all, or that you need to
put the embed code in html instead of javascript?
You could use this patent fix:

It still relies on scripting being enabled (so you'd still have this
problem for anyone that doesn't have JS enabled - if they don't have JS
enabled, they probably don't have ActiveX enable either though), but you
can at least use your html markup to embed the flash movie.

Eolas "workaround". The users therefore have to "click to activate" the
flash movie in IE.
After that, the Flash movie properly receives the text input, EXCEPT for
Backspace and Tab keys. Pressing Backspace has an action of "Back" button in
the browser, it takes a user back one page. Pressing Tab moves the focus
into another object in the browser.
So it looks like when the control is "activated" , the Flash receives only a
PARTIAL focus: it accepts all text input except Backspace and Tab. When you
click on Flash the second time, it receives full focus, and Backspace and
Tab function properly.
Can anyone explain this behavior? Is this an IE bug?
