Im totally stuffed with this

[wozrey]

Hi guys...
Im still totally lost with the keyboard "hold down" issue.
I am totally new to Action Script and have no idea what and where a listener does or is.
Can someone out there take the time to go step by step through what I need to do to get a movie to change frames on keyboard input....this is easy i know...but what I require is the frame to be held during the time the key on the keyboard is pressed, not just have the frame jump for a second then flash back. Naturally, I would like the original frame to jump back only after the keyboard key is released.
Here is the code i am currently working with...anything beyond this is a complete shambles to me....

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

If there is someone out there in digital land that could walk me through this, I would be eternally thankful. It is the only code I desire to use for what I need, and am desperate.

Handle keyevents example 1

var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function () {
    trace ("You pressed a key. kedy code is: " + Key.getCode());
    
    if(Key.getCode() == 37)
    {
        trace("left arrow pressed")
    }
    else if (Key.getCode() == 39)
    {
        trace("right arrow pressed")
    }
}
Key.addListener(myListener);

Handle keyevents example 2

var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function () {
    trace ("You pressed a key. kedy code is: " + Key.getCode());
    
    switch(Key.getCode())
    {
        case 37:
            trace("left arrow pressed")
            break;
        case 39:
            trace("right arrow pressed")
            break;
    }
}
Key.addListener(myListener);
