embed.js and flashobject.js are basically the same, they both use Javascript to create the object tag dynamically rather than statically, which MS believes skirts the EOLAS patent. Either should work equally well. Flashobject.js has the advantage of being used by a much larger community so perhaps has worked around some niggling details, but I would be very surprised if that affected your focus issue.
EOLAS has not sued anyone other than MS, to my knowledge, so no other browser vendor has done anything about their patent.
