Hi guys, im having a headache time trying to work out how this would work.  
Ive got a movie clip with the variable “\_root.bla.bla”(frame 1 is stopped while the rest of the frame doesnt stop in this movie clip). I want to add a actionscript that when i hold onto a keyboard button like up arrow, it will start playing from frame 2 onwards and when i let go of it, it will stop playing and immediately return to frame 1.

Can anyone please enlighten me on this?
