Animated Behavior Problem

Hi there,
I am attempting to use a behaor to control an enemy, including it's animation. However, using the system below, the animation when called, only plays the first frame, not the entire loop.
Currently this is what I am doing.
Where the owner is an animatedSprite (bigGuyStandingAnimation).

///in onUpdate()
if($EnemyWalking == true)
{
if($EnemyWalkingLeft == true)
{
$EnemyWalkingRight = false;
///animate walking left
//set flip
%this.owner.setFlipX(true);
///set velocity
%this.owner.setlinearVelocityX($EnemyVelocity * (-1));
///playAnimation
%this.owner.playAnimation(bigGuyWalkingAnimation);
}
else if($EnemyWalkingRight == true)
{
$EnemyWalkingLeft = false;
///animate walking left
//set flip
%this.owner.setFlipX(false);
///set velocity
%this.owner.setlinearVelocityX($EnemyVelocity);
%this.owner.playAnimation(bigGuyWalkingAnimation);
}
}
else if($EnemyWalking == false)
{
%this.owner.playAnimation(bigGuyStandingAnimation);
%this.owner.setLinearVelocityX(0);
}

When I have had animations I have used the playAnimation function, but with more arguments.
playAnimation(%animation, [%autoRestore = false], [%startFrame = -1], [%mergeTime = false]);

How often do that code happen? Everytime that you start playing an animation it starts from the beginning. So if that code is called very often the animation will not have time to play before getting restarted.When I have had animations I have used the playAnimation function, but with more arguments.
playAnimation(%animation, [%autoRestore = false], [%startFrame = -1], [%mergeTime = false]);
