Key as input for the Key.isDown method

1) Place a dynamic textfield on your stage, name it 'output'.
2) Add the following actionscript to an MC:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {
                _root.output = "The Control key is down!";
        } else {
                _root.output = "Not down!";
        }
}

You'll have to substitute control for command.

Heres another example which might suit your needs better, you shouldn't have to alter the code. It uses the key number instead so just copy & paste it directly into your actions panel:

onClipEvent (keyDown) {
        if (key.getCode()==17) {
                _root.output = "The Control key is down!";
        } else {
                _root.output = "Not down!";
        }
}

Key combination

Well, say I wanted Ctrl-F as my combo to make my name appear

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) and Key.getCode() == 70) {
                _root.name = "Jesse";
        }
}

keyTimer

// general keyTimer for amount of time
// the key is held down for in seconds
// (this example uses the arrow down key)

onClipEvent(load) {
        startTime = getTimer();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
        if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
                if(!timerStarted) {
                        trace("restarted");
                        startTime = getTimer();
                        timerStarted = true;
                }
                now = getTimer();
                elapsed = int((now-startTime)/1000)
                trace("Counting: "+elapsed);
        }
        if(!Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
                timerStarted = false;
                elapsed = 0;
                startTime = 0;
        }
}
