I have just started making a simple platform game and have some problems triggering a animation when I press a (keyboard)button/when something is happening.

I use this function to change the animation

function changeAnimation(anim:String):void{  
if(player.currentLabel != anim){  
player.gotoAndStop(anim);  
}  
}

And it actually works here

if (right == true) {  
player.x+=speed;  
player.scaleX = 1;  
changeAnimation(“run”);  
}

But when I try to run the jump animation it only runs the first frame and not the whole animation.

if (space == true) {  
isJumping = true;  
}  
if(isJumping ==true){  
changeAnimation(“jump”);  
player.y -= jumpSpeed;  
jumpSpeed --;

```
    if(this.Bakke.hitTestPoint(this.player.x, this.player.y+145, true)){
        jumpSpeed = 20;
        isJumping = false;

```

Anyone know whats wrong?
