Hey i have a common code, its running idle and idling firing, i also have a seperate animation for running and firing but it doesnt work, it just stays on one frame. Heres the code…

onClipEvent (load) {  
moveSpeed = 8;  
shooting=false;  
scale = \_xscale;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
this.gotoAndstop(2);  
this.\_x += moveSpeed;  
\_xscale = scale;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
this.gotoAndstop(2);  
this.\_x -= moveSpeed;  
\_xscale = -scale;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {  
shooting=true;  
this.gotoAndstop(3);  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)&& Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
shooting=true;  
this.gotoandstop(4);  
\_xscale = scale;

}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)&& Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
shooting=true;  
this.gotoandstop(4);  
\_xscale = -scale;

}  
if (!Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {  
this.gotoandstop(1);  
}  
}

thanks guys
