I've got a page with multiple instances of swfobject being used. This
works fine in FireFox, but in (seemingly only) IE8, the tab navigation
becomes unusable. In IE8, tabbing around the page works fine the first
time, and then subsequent attempts merely cycle the focus between the
address bar, page tab and some of the IE toolbar.

I would have initially put this down as an IE oddity, but the only way
I've found to fix the problem is to disable all of the swfobects on
the page, at which point it works.

What I'm doing:

There may (read: probably is) a more efficient way of doing what I'm
doing! However this is what I've got so far.

I'm using a small flash object to play an mp3 as the user tabs\mouses
around a page. There is a seperate mp3 for each control on the page,
and some pages have up to 12 instances of swfobject, all with unique
flashvars, attributes and params variables, and bringing in a seperate
mp3 file.

You can see a sample of the page in question at 
http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/aac/begin.php

If I remove all of the javascript code creating the swfobjects from
the page, the page functions correctly. However, only under IE8, with
the swfobjects present, the focus behaviour as I tab around the page
goes awry as explained above.

Does anyone have any advice on this issue, or have you experienced
issued with multiple swfobject instances within IE8?

Thanks in advance for your time.
