AS2 Failing?

Ok. Here's my situation: I have Macromedia Flash 8 Professional, full version, and I'm making a simple game. I've put alot of effort in so far, and really don't want to give up. In one of my cutscenes, there are speech bubbles, and I want the viewer to be able to press SPACE to move on instead of me guessing their reading speed and the bubble finishing too early or late. At 25fps, I couldn't just bung the code onto the frame or they would have the first 0.04 of a second to hit SPACE. So, for one bubble I made two frames, and coded the second as follows:

gotoAndPlay(<firstframe>);

<firstframe> being the number of the first frame. This meant I had a recurring scene that looked still. On both frames I instanced a small blank movie clip, to which I scripted:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if ((Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))) {
gotoAndPlay(<nextframe>);
}
}

<nextframe> being the next recurring scene. I thought this would solve the problem (having the movie clip constantly refreshing the SPACE check), but It does not work at all. Any ideas?

just put this code on the frame:

stop();
var keylistener:Object=new Object();
keylistener.onKeyDown(){
    if(Key.getCode==Key.SPACE)
        gotoAndPlay(<nextframe>);
    Key.removeListener(this);
}
Key.addListener(keylistener);

That should do it.
