this one differs the four keyboard keys, when added these you can add interactivity for example to program games etc... or use it as an intuitive website navigation..

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent; import flashx.textLayout.elements.BreakElement;

init(); function init():void { stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,pressEscape); }

function pressEscape(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

trace(event.keyCode);
if (event.keyCode == 13)
{
    trace("enter key has been pressed");
}
switch (event.keyCode)
{
        //up 38
    case 38 :
        br.y -=  30;
        break;
        //right 39
    case 39 :
        br.x +=  30;
        break;

        //down 40
    case 40 :
        br.y +=  30;
        break;

        //bottom 41
    case 41 :
        br.x -=  30;
        break;
}

}
