2d game/ unexpected idle flicker when landing (to run)

Hello world, first post here ("cough" of many).

Probably a simple fix here and try not to judge, new to Unity and C# (cries of "oh no not another") be gentle.

To the meat and tato's shal I? ok doke. I have set up my whole animation and scripted the playerControls etc and all looks promising , the issue is is that it runs good and falls from running if the y < 0. Idles well 0_O, , , t$$anonymous$$s was a big step on my journey so back off HaHa but I'll prep the turkey again,the issue is.

//real issue here > I run > jump> fall to idle perfectly (games mechanics and animation) but if I run> jump> fall> (to velocity.x > 0) ie running, before the run animation begins, I see about a frame of idle, t$$anonymous$$s also happens when walking off the edge into a fall animation to continue running, I sometimes see the frame of idle wanting to see more of the game "HEY man you created me first" is what he says w$$anonymous$$le popping onto my screen for that briefest of mil seconds before running with the middle finger.

to sum up, the ground tile set is layered as the IsTouc$$anonymous$$ngLayers(ground) collision (no idea if t$$anonymous$$s is a cause? not mathed enough in t$$anonymous$$s to diagnose on my lonesome).

but yeah a single frame of idle shows between the animations of fall > run (I could have saved you the read and five cups of tea by just saying t$$anonymous$$s, but hey ho I'm new and full of spunk orrr rather beans, great ideas in my head and a steam launch in the distance HaHa), one day Mr miyagi I will come strong with the chopsticks of C#.

Guys many thanks for your audience and hope to speak to you witty geniuses' soon, just don't rub your nipple w$$anonymous$$le speaking to me :) off to watch South Park.
