```auto
stop();
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
nextFrame();
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
```

Info can be found by checking the keywords in the Flash help manual:
keylistener
onkeydown
key.isdown
addlistener
nextframe

Sorry to bother you again you know in your example you have told it to look at the keyboard for the user to press space and up together. I want to use numbers in my “code” I look on the help menu of flash and found the key codes / ASCII key codes but I can find a example on how to use them. Also in your example you have to press them down at the same time is there a way of press one after an other.
Thanx again Ben

Substitute the if statement with if (Key.isDown(53) && Key.isDown(55)) { where 53 is the key code for 5 and 55 is the key code for 7. Change the numbers to reflect the numbers you want to use.
If you want to avoid holding them down at the same time, then you can assign the key codes to a variable and check against that. For example:
var moveForward:String = “57”;
var captureKeys:String = “”;
stop();
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(53)) {
captureKeys = captureKeys+“5”;
}
if (Key.isDown(55)) {
captureKeys = captureKeys+“7”;
}
if (captureKeys == moveForward) {
nextFrame();
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
