Using the page-up and page-down key functions to move scenes

I am extremely rusty when it comes to Flash CS3 (I'm using AS2).  I have several scenes, each one with a next/previous button.  I would really like to be able to set the Page-up and Page-down keys, to do what the buttons do when they are clicked.

Hope that makes sense.

you can use the attached snippet as a starting point.  note that it won't work in "Test Movie" mode since Page Up and Page Down have API instructions - preview in HTML to enable visible functionality.

the code should go in the action's panel of frame 1 of the main timeline
var listenerObject:Object = {
	onKeyDown : function(){
		switch(Key.getCode){
			// page up
			case 33 : 
			  trace("page up pressed");
			  gotoAndPlay("someScene");
			  break;
			// page down
			case 34 : 
			  trace("page down pressed");
			  gotoAndPlay("anotherScene");
			  break;
		}
	}
};
Key.addListener(listenerObject);
