Example
The following example moves a movie clip called car_mc a constant distance (10) when you
press the arrow keys. A sound plays when you press the Spacebar. Give a sound in the library a
linkage identifier of
horn_id for this example.
var DISTANCE:Number = 10;
var horn_sound:Sound = new Sound();
horn_sound.attachSound("horn_id");
var keyListener_obj:Object = new Object();
keyListener_obj.onKeyDown = function() {
switch (Key.getCode()) {
case Key.SPACE :
horn_sound.start();
break;
case Key.LEFT :
car_mc._x -= DISTANCE;
break;
case Key.UP :
car_mc._y -= DISTANCE;
