Collision, and Next Frame

I have Flash CS5.5 and I am making a game on AS3. It is a stick person game. So the collision part of my question. How can I add it so when the character tries to go off the sidewalk how do I make it so collision is there. Could you give me a code snip where it allows for collision but is wrote for keyboard movement with the arrow keys.
My other question is how do i make it so when my guy walks off the stage it automatically goes to next frame.

If you are making a game where a character can walk up and down and if you want to restrict walkable area to only a sidewalk you can do it without collision for example:

var upPressed:Boolean = false;
var downPressed:Boolean = false; // Change these with keyboardEvent


///Put this into a loop///
if(downPressed && character.y > 400)
{
character.y += 2;
}

if(upPressed && character.y < 200)
{
character.y -= 2;
}

And if player walks out of the stage (to the right side)

////Loop////

if(player.x > 600)
{
////here remove all eventListeners
gotoAndStop(2)
}

The stage thing didn’t work and I am trying the sidewalk thing right now

collision also didnt work

what code do you have so far so we have something to work with

ok i will post my movement code thats all i really have so far for this part of the game.

var upPressed:Boolean = false;
var downPressed:Boolean = false;
var leftPressed:Boolean = false;
var rightPressed:Boolean = false;


Person_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_SetKeyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fl_UnsetKeyPressed);

function fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey(event:Event)
{ 
	if (upPressed)
	{
		Person_mc.y -= 5;
	}
	if (downPressed)
	{
		Person_mc.y += 5;
	}
	if (leftPressed)
	{
		Person_mc.x -= 5;
	}
	if (rightPressed)
	{
		Person_mc.x += 5;
	}
}

function fl_SetKeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
	switch (event.keyCode)
	{
		case Keyboard.UP:
		{
			upPressed = true;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.DOWN:
		{
			downPressed = true;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.LEFT:
		{
			leftPressed = true;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.RIGHT:
		{
			rightPressed = true;
			break;
		}
	}
}

function fl_UnsetKeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
	switch (event.keyCode)
	{
		case Keyboard.UP:
		{
			upPressed = false;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.DOWN:
		{
			downPressed = false;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.LEFT:
		{
			leftPressed = false;
			break;
		}
		case Keyboard.RIGHT:
		{
			rightPressed = false;
			break;
		}
	}
}

i dont understand what you mean
