Run animation wont stop while jumping!

I have it set to When key is released > stop animation. Yet the character continues looping through it.

I set the run animation to loop so it would play as long as you are moving, but now I think that's what has this all messed up?

Here is my project file:https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/index.html?w=9d8431c4 (I hope the link works, I'm new to all this.)

Could anyone help me?

nope, you have to copy your capx in your dropbox/public/ folder

and then right click > dropbox > copy public link   

we need that one (:

Ah, I see! Thank you!

Let's try that again, here is my project:

need to see the .capx

Right, that makes sense. I had to go back and save it all as on file, but let's try this one last cotton-pickin' time!

Here is my project .capx :

You have the 'key released' actions for left and right as a sub-events. Just drag it to the parent level and it will work.

TY, Zenox. Silly me! It works now!

Now, when you are jumping left or right, the run animation still plays rather than the jump animation taking priority.

That's because of the events I have the animation tied too I guess, but could anyone suggest a better way to do this?

I want the platforming to look and feel "right" before I really dig in and do some art assets.

While you are still experimenting, it may be best to take note of THIS post from Ashley regarding Platformers. It may save you a few headaches later.

Also, it may be of use (or may not!) taking a look at THIS tutorial.

You know, I've looked through a lot of tutorials and searches and had not found that platformer tutorial. Thank you for that!!

Just a quick tip: it's usually best to have an invisible square sprite with the platform movement, and position your animated player on top of that. The square sprite with the movement will ensure the movement is always smooth and never gets stuck.

As for this, I see how it would make the movement consistently smooth, but what method can you use to position your animated player on top of the square sprite? Pin? Is that what that does?

Nevermind! That tutorial was very well done and I learned some good stuff from it!

I think I will just have:

On Falling > Set animation > Jump

That was the run will go through only halfway into the jump. That should be fine!

Thanks for the help.

Maybe this will help too:
