I have spotted one of the problems, at least. Lets say you initially press
the 'right' key. At the end of the frame, captin.activeFrame is somewhere
between 0 and 11. If on the next frame you press the 'left' key, then
captin.activeFrame is only increased by one, making it between 1 and 12 -
i.e. it will probably still be going thrtough the 'forward' animation.

There is also an error in the 'left' section, which I have modified in the
following, denoted by '**'

So, you should modify your code like the following (lines I have inserted
are marked with '>>').

** if(captin.activeFrame == 22) // Was 23, but that value
could not be reached!

Not sure if this is an entire solution to your problem, but I hope it helps.
