here is a code that was done in as3  
it allows the user to use the keyboard keys to go laft and right from frame to frame

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY\_DOWN, fl\_changeSlide);  
function fl\_changeSlide(evt:KeyboardEvent):void  
{  
if(evt.keyCode == 37) // LEFT  
{  
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);  
}  
else if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 32) // RIGHT OR SPACE  
{  
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);  
}  
}  
stop();

but i need to know how to do it in as2  
if at all possible
