Okay, vauge title as it may be imma hope to get some help here!
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

 if (Key.isDown(40)) {

 gotoAndPlay(351);

 }

}


I'm pretty sure I'm going wrong on the first line but I have no idea what or how to change it. Advice?

try
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

 if(Key.isDown(40)) {

 gotoAndPlay(351);

 }

}


spaces in between your functions and brackets may be causing problems. does it throw an error, or just not work? my coding is a little rusty and i'm only just reinstalling flash now, but if this doesn't work for you i'll have a more proper look at it next time i see this thread.

Is "40" actually a key which can be down?

40 is the down key... No idea why it's not working... syntax is right from what I can see; try using logical or (" || ") to define an alternate key, preferably a letter and see if that works.

EDIT// The code is inside the MovieClip right?

Yeah it is xD and Uh I have no idea what that even means. I'm a total noob at ActionScript.
EDIT: Thanks to Malfunction on the IRC
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

 if(Key.isDown(40)) {

_root.gotoAndPlay(420)

 }

}

It was refering to itself lol
