Actionscript 2 key listener

A simple and effective way of attaching a listener to a flash document. Great for using keyboard presses to perform actions on a website. The example below can be used to call a function when the user hits the enter key on their keyboard.

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER){
trace('you just hit the enter button')
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
