There is a full list in Adobe's Actionscript References, Sam.  See, the
External Links section, here,

   http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/Main_Page

Key checking is also probably best dealt with by using a Listener object.
I've posted a simple example of doing it this way, for you, at the bottom
of the wiki's code snippets page, 

  http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/Swfc_Code_Snippets

Depending on your setup, some key strokes produce interesting results!
( Try 'Del' for example )

If you feel inclined to dig, there is also an extended key checking routine,
including use of a toggle key, embedded in the scrappy player I concocted a
good while back. ( Mental note to self: must find time and patience to
update it.. )  Lines 307 - 347 of the source code. You can see it action
when viewing an swf, say the Liszt score.  

I hope the above helps your investigations!

Kind regards,



Chris.
