Try using a combination of if and else statements.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown (Key.INSERTKEYHERE)) {
gotoAndPlay ("blah");
}else{
gotoAndPlay ("anotherblah");
}
}

What do you mean "go to blah blah blah"
What do you want to happen when those Keys are pressed?
An object moves? It goes to a different part of your movie?
Noo idea what you're trying to accomplish.
Also, might I suggest looking here first AS: Main

Alrighty then, let's try this for your character.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(65)) {
this.gotoAndPlay("attack");
}

So, when you press the A button (65) your character movie clip will play the attack animation.
And add this...

onClipEvent (keyUp) {
this.gotoAndStop("standing");
}

so that when you let go of the A button the animation will stop.
This is just one, simple way of doing this.

Also, make sure that your attack animation loops so like if the beginning frame of the attack animation is labeled "attack" then, on the last frame of the animation put this code

gotoAndPlay("attack");

So it will loop until told to do otherwise.
Good luck! Hope this helps, post any questions here or PM me or w/e.

Just make a movie clip that contains two frames, one with your character standing and one with your character attacking. Then, just use the code I had written earlier:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown (65)) {
//because Flash doesn't recognize 'Key.A', you must use Flash keycodes instead.
gotoAndPlay (attackingframe);
}else{
gotoAndPlay (standingframe;
}
}

Look here for the rest of the keycodes you can use.

Hey that's pretty cool, thanks it will definitely come in handy.
If you couldn't see it it was a program that shows the number for whatever key you press like a-65 and such. Very handy.
