add a KeyboardEvent. and getting a keyCode, handle as follows. notice. need to add a stop(); code on frame 1 of your MovieClip.

check out this my sample code: simple_ppt

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDownHandler);

function onKeyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
    if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
    {
        trace("left!!!");
        if(myMovieClip.currentFrame > 1)
        {
            myMovieClip.prevFrame();
        }
    }
    else if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
    {
        trace("right!!!");
        if(myMovieClip.currentFrame < mc.totalFrames)
        {
            myMovieClip.nextFrame();
        }
    }
}
