I have to agree with this comment.  Response time is frustrating.

Here's one basic method:

[on startup]
 set the idleRate to 10

[card script]
 on idle
  if "65361" is in keysDown() then set left of img 1 to left of img 1 - 2
  if "65363" is in keysDown() then set left of img 1 to left of img 1 + 2
 end idle

You can also use "send in" to create more efficient key polling.  Use your
own positional change values for desired control.
