Wp Wordpress

I have a character with multiple animations by way of movieclips, and I’m trying to have it move using the Key.isDown function.

Now, my character is moving correctly, but when the key is released, the animation keeps playing. I tried adding a stop command at the end of the walkcycle animation, but that just causes the character to stay frozen on the last frame of the cycle.

Help please?

Here is the code I’m currently using:

onClipEvent(load) {
var direction = "left";
var speed = 2;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this.direction = "left";
this._x -= speed;
this.gotoAndStop('WalkLEFT');
} else if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this.direction = "right";
this._x += speed;
this.gotoAndStop('WalkRIGHT');
} else {
this.gotoAndStop('wait'+this.direction);
}
}

Thanks in advance!
