Character Animation

Im talking dead simple here.

I have an MC, my character, with the MC I have several Labelled Frames which start new animations for the character, for example, Run, Walk, Jump.

My question is, How do I get my character to perform these simple movements ?

I think I tried :

[FONT=Courier New]

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
 _root.mcBarry.gotoAndStop("rocking")
}

[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier New]

[/FONT]

Any eye deer? Please, any help would be appreciated.
