How to start the script without a pause, for a Quick Time Event? Simple Question?

For a Quick Time Event or any code, I think...

For some reason, the first keyboard event starts off with a pause. How do I let this script starts off without it having to be pressed the first time? I already wrote the instructions for the player about how it works.

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

import flash.ui.Keyboard;

function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void

{

     if (currentScene.name == "Scene 1")

     {

          if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.E)

               nextScene();

     }

     else if (currentScene.name == "Scene 2")

     {

          if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.F)

               nextScene();

     }

     else if (currentScene.name == "Scene 3")

     {

          if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.G)

               nextScene();

     }

}

stop();

if (!stage.hasEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN))

     stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);

respect points on the line!
