Keyboard Navigation - Arrows Key Presses & Enter Key - Help Please :-)

$

I have read serveral posts on this subject.  I am just learning Edge Animate so bear with me.

 

My file requires it navigate via keyboard presses - Up/Down menus and Left/Right menus.  Upon reaching a desired menu item, pressing the Enter key navigates to another page.

I know there is code that navigates to the Next Label... like:

 

if (e.which == 39)

{

      sym.play();

}

 

And for the left button, do something like:

 

if (e.which == 37)

{

     sym.playReverse();

}

 

 

But because my timeline is not always linear, I would like to hard code the navigation like this:

 

if (e.which == 39) {

          sym.play("label");

}

 

I put the above code in the Actions of Stage {} and use the Keydown event and it works beautifully!

 

However, how can I change the actions once it is at the new location, at frame "label" ?  I cannot seem to create a Keyframe in the Stage Layer, and then enter changes to the Actions code. 

Or is there a way to enter this code into a button (off-stage so it is not visible) and then just create keyframes of the button with the relative navigation code ? 

Am I being a neophyte and missing something obvious?

 

I am hoping there's a way without creating a lot of "get Variables" which cause my eyes to go "deer-in-the-headlights".  :-)
