Documentation:
onKey[letter]Down - new events passed by the key object which
easily let you assign key events for specific characters. Simply
replace [letter] in onKey[letter]Down with the character you want
the event to be handled for and set up your function.  Remember
to make the object a listener of the Key object.

onKey[letter]Up - Operates the same way on Key Up.

Example:
Key.addListener(this);
this.onKeyADown = function(){
	trace("a pressed");
}
this.onKeyBDown = function(){
	trace("b pressed");
}

this["onKey;Down"] = function(){
	trace("; pressed");
}
