Creating a keyboard shortcut for a director movie button

Question

Hi, I am relatively new to director,
I have created a director movie which I currently control
with a number of onscreen buttons. Each button runs several
different behaviours when the button is pressed. I was wanting to
know if there was a simple script I could create, that would map a
keyboard shortcut key to some of these buttons. For example, if I
pressed the "a" key, it would call mouseDown(The sprite number of
the button associated with the "a" key). without me actually moving
the mouse into the button or clicking on it.
Thanks,
-Matt

You could try playing with 'the keyDownScript' or 'the
keyUpScript'.
For example:
on prepareMovie
the keyDownScript = "mCheckKeys"
end
on mCheckKeys
if the controlDown then
case (the key) of
"a": sendSprite(1, #mouseDown)
"b":...
end case
end if
end
