It gets very complicated if you want more animations (e.g. "jumping", "walking", "sprinting", etc.), but the basics:

You should change costumes everytime your x-position changes by a certain amount, not based on time.  E.g.

forever
set [x_save v] to (x position)
wait until <([abs v] of ((x position)-(x_save))) > (step size)>
next costume

Additionally, things like collisions/physics are easier if you have a separate "collision" costume or "collider" sprite, as changing costumes can result in being outside a wall with one costume but inside the wall when you change to the next costume.

Oh Heck, you bet me too it xD
This is however a better idea than I had, I used extra variables and broadcasts, MoreGamesNow's is more easy

i don't understand..LOL

lol, basically add the variable and script he used, and it will work 

I dont know, I tried that out too, I guess he left that bit up for you    Sorry.

Step size is basically a variable that stores the size, in pixels, that each frame moves.  For example, if each step moves your character 10 pixels and you have 5 costumes, "step size" would be 2 (10/5).  This script might make more sense, as you can just fit it into whatever movement-loop-script you have

when gf clicked
set [step_x_storage v] to (x position)
forever
movement stuff
if<([abas v] of ((x position)-(step_x_storage))) > (2)>
switch to next costume in walking cycle
set [step_x_storage v] to (x position)
end

when gf clicked
set [i v] to (0)
set [step_x_storage v] to (x position)
forever
movement stuff
if<([abas v] of ((x position)-(step_x_storage))) > (2)>
set [i v] to (((i)+(1)) mod (3))
switch to costume ((i)+(1))
set [step_x_storage v] to (x position)
end
