The script works fine but it works on mouse movements. I want to control it by the keys “left” and right". The problem lies is the "\_xmouse " it should take it variables from the keys left and right.  
I attached the fla to it, so you see I was trying to add the key left and right to it…

Who can help me???

-------org script----------

imagelist = [“images/01.jpg”, “images/02.jpg”, “images/03.jpg”, “images/04.jpg”, “images/05.jpg”, “images/06.jpg”, “images/07.jpg”, “images/01.jpg”], “images/01.jpg”]

var angle = 0;

var image, dimension, piangle;  
var xfactor = 300;

this.\_x = posX;  
this.\_y = posY;

for (var i = 0; i \< imageList.length; i++)  
{  
image = this.attachMovie (“loadingclips”, “image” + i, i);  
image.wphase = pi / imageList.length \* i;  
image.container.loadMovie (imageList\*);  
if (loading == false) image.window.\_visible = 0;  
images.push (image);  
}  
this.onEnterFrame = function ()

xfactor =\_root.keyposX;

angle += center.\_xmouse / turnfactor;

if (angle \>= pi) angle -= pi;  
if (angle \< 0) angle += pi;

image.\_yscale = 100 \* dimension;  
image.swapDepths (-(int (image.z)));  
}  
};  
}

center.rotation\_menu (imagelist, Stage.width/2, Stage.height/2, 100, 600, 600, 200, true, 8000);
