Moving/Zooming in AS2

[white-darkness1]

Yup. Probably the most basic question ever.

I need to be able to move my VCAM with the arrow keys, and zoom in and out using z and x with AS2.

Easiest way to move a vcam is when a user presses either key, move _root._x and _root._y.

Mind giving me more info?
I'm AS-retarded. D:

Like, I get what _root._x and _root._y are, they change the coordinates, but I don't know the actual scripts to use.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
		_y-=5;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
		_y+=5;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
		_x+=5;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
		_x-=5;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(90)){
		_xscale--;
		_yscale--;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(88)){
		_xscale++;
		_yscale++;
	}
}

Put that on the vcam.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
_y-=5;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
_y+=5;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_x+=5;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_x-=5;
}
if(Key.isDown(90)){ // or any outher key...
this._hight -= 5;
this._width -= 5;
}
if(Key.isDown(88)){ // or any outher key...
this._hight += 5;
this._width += 5;
}
}

something like this..
