Space bar produces a true ASCII character. So there is no up and down, just pressed or not pressed. You might experiment with testing for the shift keys: uppercase, control, or alt.

My preference would be to use the mousedown and mouseup events. If the user wants to keep the splash screen visible they click on it and hold the clicker down. You keep it visible until they let go and there is a mouse up event.

HTH.
