onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.getCode() == 65)) { // not sure if it should be = or == here… swich if it doesn’t work
trace(“A is down”);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.getCode() == 66)) {

here’s some links.

this one describes the keyCode() function, with which you will check which key is pressed.

this one displays a list of every key, A-Z and 0-9

then just use the blue arrowkeyss at the top of the page to check other keyCodes.

On the timeline:


listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function(){
if(Key.isDown(65)){
//play sound a
}
}
Key.addListener(listen);

The page Kalliban provided is pretty useful:
