Hero "knock down"

programming flash
1

Hi there, my names matt, I posted on here a bit ago with a few questions regarding the development of my 2.5d as3 beat em up. Im almost done, but i need some ideas as i have hit a road block.

Currently my main character dosent get knocked over, i have triggers for this to happen (enemy kick ect). The problem is i cant seem to get my main character to stay down and complete the “get up” animation.

I beleive the problem is with key presses, as soon as i press a key (left, right, up, down ect) the “get up” animation is broken and the character goes to the “walking animation”

the code I am using to trigger the “knock down sequence is as follows”

*if (OM.OMabox.hitTestObject(hero))
{
{

        hero.gotoAndStop("HeroKnockDown");
    }
    

};*

the code for walking is as follows

function EnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
if (Left)
{
hero.x -= speed;
hero.scaleX = -1.3;

    if (hero.currentLabel != ("walking"))
    {
        hero.gotoAndStop("walking");
    }
}
if (Right)
{
    hero.x +=  speed;
    hero.scaleX = +1.3;

    if (hero.currentLabel != ("walking"))
    {
        hero.gotoAndStop("walking");
    }
}
if (Up)
{
    hero.y -=  speed;

    if (hero.currentLabel != ("walking"))
    {
        hero.gotoAndStop("walking");
    }
}
if (Down)
{
    hero.y +=  speed;

    if (hero.currentLabel != ("walking"))
    {
        hero.gotoAndStop("walking");
    }
}

}

any help is much appreciated,

regards Matt!
