(p.s.) after further trial and error ; I found that publish preview in flash; buttons work, in publish preview in html, buttons do not work.
Any Ideas what I am doing wrong

make a limit as to how high the worm can go. its as simple as
if(worm._y <= 250){
worm._y = 250;
}

oh and this isnt an answer to your question.. I dont see why it would matter as it does work online. and thats the point..

kmksunfire, which version of Flash you're using? It sounds like it might be related to that Firefox "wmode = transparent" bug. The up/down keys work for me in Firefox 2 though. Are you clicking inside of the Flash movie to give it focus before using the keys?

[kmksunfire]

wow.. I feel pretty dumb, yeah it works as long as I click in the browser, any way to make it so user doesn't have to click?

If you have a title page with instructions and a "click to play" type button, then it's an easy way to get the user to click on the Flash window and make sure they have focus on the window. This is a good idea if your game is controlled by the keyboard.
