How to cause a menu to display when spacebar is held down?

Question

Hi, is it possible to make a menu display when the spacebar is held down, then, disappear once a menu option is chosen and the spacebar is released? 
Thanks

Here's some code that will make a named object appear/disappear with the spacebar.  But it is not currently dependent on selecting something from the object, such as a menu option.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
menu.visible = false;
function keyDownHandler(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(evt.keyCode == 32 && evt.type == "keyDown"){
  trace("Space pressed down");
  stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
  stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyDownHandler);
  menu.visible = true;
} else if(evt.keyCode == 32 && evt.type == "keyUp"){
  trace("Space released");
  stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
  stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyDownHandler);
  menu.visible = false;
