How do i make the computer reconize when the 'a' button is pressed or 'b' etc. I know how to use the arrow keys (Key.UP, Key.DOWN, etc) but how do i use the other keys? thanks

well the same way as Key.UP/DOWN, but instead you might have to use their ASCII values Confused

yeah tony is right, you need to use ascii. here's a simple way to check what the ascii value of the last letter you pressed:

code:
onEnterFrame = function () {
        // checks if a is being pressed
        // if (Key.isDown(65)) {
        // trace("fun");
        // }
       
        // gives you the keyCode for the last letter you pressed
        trace(Key.getCode());
};
