Three js camera movement - three.js

Question

i dont have the code here so i hope you can understand, i'l edit and add the code when i get home.
I have built a class move that once initialized adds a jquery event (keyDown) to the rendered dom element.
the event checks what key is down in a switch case,
if the key is one of the cases the camera will be moved accordingly.
The camera does move, but for some reason it flickers a bit, like little jumps.
the speed for each camera move is 0.05;
when i did this in anouter app but via a javascript keydown event from the main script (no special class) it worked fine..
any idea why would it do this ?
edit: code
main script :
<script>
var moveMec = null;
var loopProg = null;
var renderer = null;
var scene = null;
var camera = null;
var mesh = null;
var earth = null;
var sun = null;
$(document).ready(
function() {
var container = document.getElementById("container");
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true } );
renderer.setSize(container.offsetWidth,container.offsetHeight);
container.appendChild(renderer.domElement)
scene = new THREE.Scene();
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 45,
container.offsetWidth / container.offsetHeight, 1, 4000 );
earth = new Earth();
sun = new Sun({x:-10,y:0,z:20});
scene.add(earth.getEarth);
scene.add(sun.sunLight);
camera.position.set( 0, 0, 3 );
moveMec = new moveMechanics(camera,renderer.domElement)
loopProg = new loopProgram();
loopProg.add(function(){earth.update()});
//loopProg.add(function(){renderer.render( scene, camera );});
loopProg.solarLoop();
}
);
</script>
move script :
var moveMechanics = function (camera,domElement,speed)
{
moveMechanics.camera = camera;
moveMechanics.speed = speed != undefined ? speed : 0.01;
moveMechanics.domElement = domElement;
$(document).keydown(function(event)
{
switch(event.which)
{
case KeyEvent.DOM_VK_W:
camera.position.z -= moveMechanics.speed;
break;
case KeyEvent.DOM_VK_S:
camera.position.z += moveMechanics.speed;
break;
case KeyEvent.DOM_VK_D:
camera.position.x += moveMechanics.speed;
break;
case KeyEvent.DOM_VK_A:
camera.position.x -= moveMechanics.speed;
break;
}
});
}
loop code :
function loopProgram()
{
this.functionsToRun = new Array();
this.solarLoop= function()
{
jQuery.each(loopProg.functionsToRun, function(index,value)
{
value ? value() : null;
});
requestAnimationFrame(loopProg.solarLoop);
}
this.add = function(func)
{
this.functionsToRun[this.functionsToRun.length] = func;
}
}
