Sorry. My mistake! forgot to post the code.

var key:uint = e.keyCode;

The code is:

var key:uint = e.keyCode;

images.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed)

function keyPressed(e:Keyboard):void
{
if(key==37){
images_mc.gotoAndStop(images_mc.currentFrame - 1)
}else if(key==39){
images_mc.gotoAndStop(images_mc.currentFrame + 1)
}
}

the scope of e is only inside the function,

so when you write

var key:uint = e.keyCode;

Flash doesn`t know of any object called e

you have to rewrite like so:

var key:uint;

and then inside the keyPressed function you write:

...

key = e.keyCode

if(key==37){...

Beware of using any keyWords, when in doubt if "key" is a name flash has reserved internally always use a leading underscore (_key)

you can basically set up one function to handle all differnent kind of events.

so lets say you have setup an eventlistener like this:

sequence.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleEvent);

you can simply setup a keyboardListener to the stage that has the same name.

stage.addEventlistener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, handleEvent);

and then in the handleEvent (which has been generalized to the class which both event types inherit from) function you write

function handleEvent(e:Event):void{

switch(e.type){

case "click": trace("Stage was clicked");

//write your Mouse Logic

break;

case "keyUp": trace("Keyboard was used");

//write your keyBoard Logic

break;

}
