INsert a moveiclip titled “mouse actions” or “mouse control” or something like that. Now put these actions on the movie clip…

[AS]  
onClipEvent (keyDown) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
onClipEvent (keyUp) {  
stop();  
}  
[/AS]  
I tihnk that’s what you wanted. If you wanted it to not stop in the middle of a frame when teh key is released, just get rid of that part of teh code and place a stop action at the frist frame. I tihnk you can figure out how that code works.

Place this on the main timeline.[AS]myListener = {onKeyDown:function () {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}};  
Key.addListener(myListener);[/AS]
