onKeyDown event not working

for some reason nothing happens when i press the space bar.

does anyone have any clue as to why.

#initclip
function Climber() {
}Climber.prototype.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
trace(“boom”);
}
};
Object.registerClass(“man”, Climber);
#endinitclip
Sincerely

Bill

hehe would have helped if i had added a listener.
