Try SWFACTION_KEYDOWN... When you add a movie clip (sprite) to the main 
movie, you get a display item - on that item there is a poorly documented 
function addAction that allows you to add onClipEvent actions. I'm not sure 
if you can do the same on the main movie - if you succeed, please let us know 
(if anyone needs this in the future).

If you need an example, let me know...

Enjoy!
