_root.save = true;
//Save Keys   
if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == true) {
 save.goatoAndStop(2);
 _root.left = false;
 _root.up = false;
 _root.right = false;
 _root.down = false;
 _root.shift = false;
 _root.save = false;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == false) {
 save.gotoAndStop(1);
 _root.right = true;
 _root.left = true;
 _root.up = true;
 _root.down = true;
 _root.shift = true;
}

When I press backspace, nothing happens.. It was supposed to be on frame 2. Would anyone help me?

First did you mispell this here in your script

save.goatoAndStop(2);

Have you tried putting it below your root timeline as you have before like this?
_root.save.gotoAndStop(2)

Woops, I didn't notice that thanks, but still.. It won't appear even I try to put the script inside save MC.

onClipEvent (load) {
	_root.save = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	//Save Keys   
	if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == true) {
		_root.save.gotoAndStop(2);
		_root.left = false;
		_root.up = false;
		_root.right = false;
		_root.down = false;
		_root.shift = false;
		_root.save = false;
	} else if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == false) {
		_root.save.gotoAndStop(1);
		_root.right = true;
		_root.left = true;
		_root.up = true;
		_root.down = true;
		_root.shift = true;
	}
}

what is _root.save? a movie clip or a variable? You set it to false in one section of the code and tell it to got to frame 2 in another part of the code. If it is a movie clip, make sure the instance name of that movieclip is set to 'save'. The instance name box can be located by clicking the movie clip and opening the properties tab.

Woops, both. I changed a movie clip's instance name to sm. A variable is same, but even after I changed the code and pressed backspace, the movieclip won't show! ._.

onClipEvent (load) {
 _root.save = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 //Save Keys   
 if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == true) {
  _root.sm.gotoAndStop(2);
  _root.left = false;
  _root.up = false;
  _root.right = false;
  _root.down = false;
  _root.shift = false;
  _root.save = false;
 } else if (Key.isDown(Key.BACKSPACE) && _root.save == false) {
  _root.sm.gotoAndStop(1);
  _root.right = true;
  _root.left = true;
  _root.up = true;
  _root.down = true;
  _root.shift = true;
  _root.save = true;
 }
}
