Why does this work???

[Sy Mercade]

How come this works??

import flash.events.Event;

DO KEY STUFF
{Stuff}

DO ENTERFRAME
{Stuff}





stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeysDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkKeysUp);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame); //Do this every frame

Why do these calls at the bottom repeatedly work, even though they're not executing every frame?

The first two listeners work any time a key is pressed and released.
The last one fires any time there is a frame tick which by default happens 24 times a second.
