But how can I link button to "UP" "DOWN" and "ENTER" key of my keyboard?

"UP" = high light next button = mouse over
"DOWN" = high light previous button = mouse over
"ENTER" = click on the button

addEventListener(Event:KeyboardEvent, doSomething);

function doSomething(e:Event) :void {

}

Try this as a template. Just replace the trace statements with whatever it is you want to do. This method also makes it nice and simple to add extra keys to the function.

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyboardHandler);

function keyboardHandler(event:KeyboardEvent) {
    switch (event.keyCode) {
        case Keyboard.UP:
        trace("Up")
        break
    
        case Keyboard.DOWN:
        trace("Down")
        break
        
        case Keyboard.ENTER:
        trace("Enter")
        break
    }
} 

Hope that helps
