The key code value for the Down Arrow key (40).

Example

The following example moves a movie clip called car_mc a constant distance (10) when you press an arrow key. A sound plays when you press the Spacebar. Give a sound in the library a linkage identifier of horn_id for this example. 

var DISTANCE:Number = 10;
var horn_sound:Sound = new Sound();
horn_sound.attachSound("horn_id");
var keyListener_obj:Object = new Object();
keyListener_obj.onKeyDown = function() {
    switch (Key.getCode()) {
    case Key.SPACE :
    horn_sound.start();
    break;
    case Key.LEFT :
    car_mc._x -= DISTANCE;
    break;
    case Key.UP :
    car_mc._y -= DISTANCE;
    break;
    case Key.RIGHT :
    car_mc._x += DISTANCE;
    break;
    case Key.DOWN :
    car_mc._y += DISTANCE;
    break;
    }
};
Key.addListener(keyListener_obj);
