Hey All~  
I’m new to the forums and fairly new to action-script also,  
Generally such basic things are a breeze, but i can’t for the life of me figure  
out how to navigate through the Main timeline using the arrow keys!!!

I know its probably been asked (and covered) a thousand times, so sorry in advance.  
And yes, of course i’ve googled it but every piece of code i try seems to error :C

So, just to re-cap, i’m trying to display whats on frame 2 when say, key 40 (right arrow key, i think) is pressed, then return to frame 1 on release, if that makes sense.  
Thanks in advance guys 😃
