Use Any key to activate a button

Question

HI,
I was wondering if there is anyway to activate a button by
hitting any key?
Currently I have this code but it doesnt seem to work,
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(keyListener);
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
processInput();
my_btn.onPress = processInput;
function processInput() {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
Any help will be muchly appreciated

EDIT : IGNORE THIS POST
Ahh... so scene 2 is inside your button.... that explains it.
Its working... but what is happening is that inside your
processInput function your gotoAndStop is looking in different
timelines. You can see the difference in the traces between when
the keyListener calls it and when your button onPress handler calls
it.
I had assumed you wanted to move the button's parent timeline
on... but it was the button's timeline that you wanted to change.
(I just re-read your earlier post - you did say that but I missed
it, sorry)
try changing this:
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
processInput();
to this:
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
my_btn.onPress();
and you can get rid of the timeline variable.
inside processInput:
make it :
this.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1)
