window is the default wmode value if nothing is set.
You should easily be able to set focus to the object with some simple js
like:
document.getElementById("FlashObjectID").focus();
This is obviously a simplification, and you should ensure that you swf is
actually available before trying to call this method (use the swfobject
callback function)
