Animation not playing when it's supposed to... :(

[color=#0000ff]http://www.matthewcorway.com/interface.fla[/color]

I’m working with this file, I’ve so far gotten my interface top to work how I want it to but I can’t get the little man to animate when someone mouses over a button.
If you press the LEFT or RIGHT arrows he will animate properly but if instead you use your mouse and go over a button. It will assign a variable a direction and then it is supposed to tell the man to animate but it doesn’t work.

Can anyone please give me a hand and tell me how to fix this? If I have to code something else to at least get him to animate while he is moving then so be it, I don’t mind as long as it works in the end.

Thanks,
