Just assign code to the button that processes the desired code when you click it...

yourButton.onRelease = doSomethingFunction;

function doSomethingFunction(){

    //  whatever...

}

Have the keypress calling that same function

What does pressing the spacebar do?  Whatever that is, just assign the same kind of code for the button.  If the button is named spacebar, then just replace what I called "yourButton" with "spacebar"
