I'd like to change my code from using the left key=previous frame/ right key= next fr

Hi,

The last post only works with two frames, I suspect you have more so try

stop();

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, pressAnyKey);

function pressAnyKey(event:KeyboardEvent)
{
    switch (event.keyCode)
    {
        case Keyboard.LEFT :
            prevFrame();
            break;

        default :
            nextFrame();
    }
}
