I’m trying to make the scroller to scroll by pressing the ‘r’ and ‘l’ buttons. Right and left subsequently. Anyway, it doesn’t work. I’ve used a setInterval function but I’m having trouble getting it activated with the listener function set up for the keys.

Any help here is appreciated.

ActionScript Code:

ok, tried to make an edit, but the computer I’m using messed up the format of the code, I’ll be back later to post the original code when I get back to my regular computer. Anyway, there might be enough info below to figure it out.
