Using hotspots to enable opening doors

[TrashcanPatrol]

Hmm... I'm having some difficulty combining this into an environment where there's a door to open. Here is my code so far:

import viz
viz.go()

SAFE = 1
UNSAFE = 0


RECTANGLE_X = -4
RECTANGLE_Z = 3.4
RECTANGLE_WIDTH = 0.5

openDoor = False
dooropen = False
walk = vizact.walkTo([-3.5,0,3.5])

def handlemyhotspots(id,x,y,z):
	global openDoor
	if id == SAFE:
		openDoor = True
		print 'Door can be opened'
		viz.starthotspot(UNSAFE,viz.RECTANGLE_HOTSPOT_OUT,RECTANGLE_X,RECTANGLE_Z,RECTANGLE_WIDTH,1)
	if id == UNSAFE:
		openDoor = False
		print 'Door can not be opened'
		viz.starthotspot(SAFE,viz.RECTANGLE_HOTSPOT_IN,RECTANGLE_X,RECTANGLE_Z,RECTANGLE_WIDTH,1)

viz.callback(viz.HOTSPOT_EVENT, handlemyhotspots)
viz.starthotspot(SAFE,viz.RECTANGLE_HOTSPOT_IN,RECTANGLE_X,RECTANGLE_Z,RECTANGLE_WIDTH,1)
#viz.starthotspot(TARGET,viz.CIRCLE_HOTSPOT_IN,CIRCLE_X,CIRCLE_Z,CIRCLE_RADIUS) 

room=viz.add('room.wrl')
viz.collision(viz.ON)
door = room.getchild('door-FACES')
import vizcam
vizcam.FlyNavigate()

avatar = viz.add('vcc_male.cfg')

link = viz.link(avatar, viz.MainView)
link.preTrans([0,0,.1])

armup = vizact.boneSpinTo('Bip01 R UpperArm', euler = [0,0,-75], speed = 45)

avatar.addAction(walk)
avatar.addAction(armup)



def mykeyboard(key):
	global dooropen
	if key == 'e' and openDoor == True:
		door.runAction( vizact.spinto(0,1,0, -90, 30.0) )
		dooropen = True
		avatar.action(armup)
		
#Further help: http://www.worldviz.com/vizhelp/commands/viz/starthotspot.htm
		
#	if dooropen == True:
#		print 'The door is open'

#	if key == 'e' and openDoor == True and dooropen == True:
#		door.runAction(vizact.spinto(0,1,0,0,30.0) )

#Need to be able to close door as well, for concept.
#after door is opened, dooropen = True
#if key == 'e' and dooropen == True:
	#door.runAction( vizact.spinto(0,1,0,0,30.0) )
	
viz.callback(viz.KEYBOARD_EVENT,mykeyboard)

avatar.disable(viz.INTERSECTION)

I'm having some trouble controlling the viewpoint. It's linked to the avatar I know, but is there any way to control the avatar to go forward/back with Up, Down and strafe with Left, Right? As well as use the mouse to look around, so the player sees the hand open the door.. is this possible?
Thanks again for sticking around and helping me a bit through this.
