I am an animator and I dont know anything about flash scripting. I want to do an interactive animation using the keyboard keys but I don’t know how to program it.  
It should be something like this:

on keypress A  
open animationA.swf  
on keypress B  
open animationB.swf  
–and this for all the letters.  
If somebody can tell me how I should do this that would be great  
Thanks
