Can not get the player to do the walking, jumping, and standing anim

Question

hi,
i cant seem you figure out how to get the player i have made to do the anim i have made for it.  i am kinda new to AS3 and could use any help i can get.  it kinda works but it never stops playing the last anim it did. for example if i walked to the right, it would just keep walking to the right even if i stop moveing, and if i jump it would play the jumping anim even after i land.  plz help if you can. thanks

Answer 1

this is the AS3 code i am using
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var KeyThatIsPressed:uint;
var rightKeyIsDown:Boolean = false;
var leftKeyIsDown:Boolean = false;
var upKeyIsDown:Boolean = false;
var downKeyIsDown:Boolean = false;
var gravity:Number = 1;
var yVelocity:Number = 0;
var canJump:Boolean = false;
var canDoubleJump:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,PressAKey);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,ReleaseAKey);
function PressAKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
                    rightKeyIsDown = true;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
                    leftKeyIsDown = true;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
                    upKeyIsDown = true;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN)
                    downKeyIsDown = true;
function ReleaseAKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
                    rightKeyIsDown = false;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
                    leftKeyIsDown = false;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
                    upKeyIsDown = false;
          if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN)
                    downKeyIsDown = false;
sonic_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveTheSonic);
function moveTheSonic(event:Event):void
          if(rightKeyIsDown)
                    sonic_mc.x +=  7;
                    sonic_mc.scaleX=1;
                    sonic_mc.gotoAndStop(3);
          if(leftKeyIsDown)
                    sonic_mc.x -=  7;
                    sonic_mc.scaleX=1;
                    sonic_mc.gotoAndStop(4);
          if(upKeyIsDown&&canJump)
                    yVelocity = -15;
                    canJump = false;
                    canDoubleJump = true;
                    sonic_mc.gotoAndStop(5);
          if (upKeyIsDown&&canDoubleJump&&yVelocity>-2)
           yVelocity =-13;
           canDoubleJump=false;
          yVelocity +=  gravity;
          if(! floor_mc.hitTestPoint(sonic_mc.x,sonic_mc.y,true))
                    sonic_mc.y +=  yVelocity;
          if(yVelocity>20)
                    yVelocity = 20;
          for(var i:int=0; i<10; i++)
                    if (floor_mc.hitTestPoint(sonic_mc.x,sonic_mc.y,true))
                              sonic_mc.y--;
                              yVelocity = 0;
                              canJump = true;
what is not working how i want is line 64-93.  what i want to happen is i press a key and then it play the anim for the key that was pressed then when i stop holding the key down i want it to stop the anim and go back to the standing anim but thats not what it dose it lust keeps playing the same anim over and over again.
here is a vid of what happens
