How to store keycode value to variable? (flash as3)

Question

I'm new to AS3. I tried to move a object with keyboard event. I used if/else condition to check that if keycode is this... then statement run.

But I'm not able to do it with switch method. I want to take a variable. what will store the keycode which key I'm pressing. & It will check for statement that I pressed 37 key, so object go to left.

So my problem is that, how to store current keycode (what key is pressing) to variable?

    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, _keyboard);


    private function _keyboard(e:KeyboardEvent):void 
    {
        switch (e.keyCode) {
            case 38: // arrow up
                trace("It Works!");
            break;
        }
    }

Any problems with this?

As you can see your event stores information about keycode, and you can access it through it. Also note that listener is added to stage.
