Getting keycodes

i am trying to allow an object to be moved with the keyboard. I don’t believe you can capture the arrow buttons. if you can’t, then let’s go with left=a, right=d, up=w, down=x.

The problem i am having is, the object to add the ‘onkeydown’ event to.

I just need to know where i should add the event to so it will always work(cus if you add it to just one object, then if that object loses focus, it doesn’t work).

Thanks in advance.
