keyboard event listener

Hi, I noticed that everyone one creates a thread for their asks rather than there being a central thread to post them in, so I'm going to do that too.

I have had flash CS5.5 for a week or 2 now, it uses AS3, seeing as that is the latest action script version that's the one I would like to learn how to use.
However, my town is sort of excluded from the rest of the world and the only guide I could get my hands on was for AS2, so I do the practice excersises in it and if a compilation error hits I look it up on the internet to see if it has anything to do with the code being out of date.
But now I have stranded,

Code:

---

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

var snelheidSpaceShip:Number = 10;

spaceship_mc.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.Key.LEFT, key1);
function key1(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
        trace("links ingedrukt");
}

---

He doesn't recognize the instance name of my movieclip and apparently Key.LEFT doesn't exist?
Can anyone give me an educated opinion?

Keyboard.Left should work or you can use 37 as the keyboard left keycode.

you might need all three of the following imports:

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
