Next block of code :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) { 

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { 

this._x += moveSpeed; 

This means that when you enter the frame, if the right key is holded down, it will add movespeed (3) to X, making it move to the right, because X is a imaginary vertical line on the left so adding to X will make something move to the right.
Next block of code :

 
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) { 

 this._y -= moveSpeed; 

This means that else if the up key is holded it will substracte movespeed (3) to Y which is another imaginary line, this time on the the top, so you go up.
next block :-) :

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) { 

this._y += moveSpeed; 

If you are intelligent, you should undestand this means that you add to Y making the man go down.
Final block of code :

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { 

this._x -= moveSpeed; 

} 

}

This means you substracte to X making the man go left... Next page is about Variables
