coding directional movement with animations

I've been searching for a while now, and I really can't find how to do this anywhere. I'm making a game, where the player controlled character moves right and left only, but has a separate movement animation from the standing one (I'm using sprites). I have a movie clip with the character using the standing animation from frames 1-20, then moving right from 21-23, then left from 24-26. If I could get any help with this it would be awesome.

Hi

Im not sure if this is of any help to you....I have been developing a flash RPG game and have used character sprites that move up, down, left, right and also use a walking animation? I could send the fla if you like?

Cheers

That'd work great, I could probably take a look at your code and see if I can modify it to suit my game. If you could send it to blackplague68@yahoo.ca that'd work the best for me. Thanks a lot :)
