Possible to change frame based on object location?

Hi. If I am moving an object, any sort of object (let's say a drawn layer) using the left and right arrow keys, is it possible to jump to a specified frame based on where that object is? So let's say that I am moving it one frame at a time, can I write some sort of javascript or anything to say "once the object is in this quadrant jump to frame xx"? I want it to be like a video game scenario where users and make the character walk through a door and then have everything jump to a new frame when the character has crossed that threshold.

    Javascript, would be eternally grateful.


    document.onkeydown = keyF.bind(this);

    function keyF(e){

    switch(e.keyCode){

    case 37:

    //move left

    break

    case 38:

    // move up

    break

    case 39:

    // right

    break

    case 40:

    //down

    break

    }

    if(this.obj1.x<x1 && this.obj1.x>x2 && this.obj1.y<y1 && this.obj1.y>y2){

    this.gotoAndStop(wherever);

    }

    }

    are you asking about something the user does with your finished app (move an object using arrow keys) or something you do while creating your app?

    Something the user does. As in they would be moving the character around with their arrow keys.

    use an if-statement (in your key listener) checking the object's position.

    p.s. your question is baffling because you're asking about the most basic actionscript (goto) and not asking about more complicated actionscript (moving an object with arrow keys).
