How do I create sprite to Run just for 3 second

i am working on a project that i need sprite run just for 3 second every pressing right arrow/ tap touch control. please

the way I do this stuff, is I have a ready animation and an action animation. The ready is a 1 frame animation and the action will be the "video" like animation. Then I set up my actions like this:

(Event)

Action: set animation "action"

Wait 3 seconds

set animation "ready"
