Animation looping help

Question

Hi, I was making some weird horse game for my sister that included a few animations. I have a script for each animation so that it will play on KeyDown. E.g. when you press W the horse moves forwards and plays the walk animation, spacebar makes it jump and play the jump animation. The script I'm using is this:

 #pragma strict
  function Update()
 {
  if(Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
  {

   animation.Play("run");

  }
 }

I don't know how I can make this work, but when I press for example, the spacebar, the horse jumps and plays the jump animation fine, but then continues to play the jump animation until another key is pressed. How can I make the animation only play once? Also, I want the walk animation to play only while I hold down the W key and when I'm not holding it down, the horse should revert to the idle animation. Any help greatly appreaciated!!

For the jump animation looping (depending on what animation system you're using) double check that the Wrap Mode is not set to loop or that Loop Time is unchecked. That will ensure the animation only plays once and then stops at the end.

Sethuraj's comment above is will get your player to stop running when you're not holding down W.
