Well maybe you could create javascript function inside your main window running your flex app/wrapper and use an ExternalInterface to call that instead. I would start by having the function use an Alert to show it's being called properly. Then work up to show it's got the window handle.

Anyone know the secret combination to place focus on a specific (e.g. 'pdfWindow') browser window using ExternalInterace.call(...)? I've tried experimenting with javascript and ExternalInterface, based on Mark and Alex's previous comments, using combinations of var callString:String="window.open(null,'pdfWindow').focus()"; //var callString:String="window.location(null,'pdfWindow').focus()"; and ExternalInterface.call(callString); //ExternalInterface.call("eval(" + callString + ")"); and so far haven't had any success placing focus on the already opened browser window.
