movement animation script

So I'm using modern algebras extra move frames script, and even though the animation should look great, but it doesn't (I have 8 frames for each direction).  The problem I believe is that when a character takes a "step", it cycles through every frame super quickly for each 32x32 block that you're walking.

What I would like is a script that makes it so the walking animation frames cycle at a normal rate as long as you're holding down a directional button, not every frame for every step.

I hope that made sense, I think I explained it as best I can.  Any help would be appreciated so..Thanks!

you will need a pixel movement script for that.
