"Duck" button

[Elfman-rox]

I want to put a "duck" or "crouch down" button (which will be spacebar) in one of my games. The only problem is that in one part of my script it says that if the character is standing still, it goes to the "Idle" frame, thus he cannot crouch, he HAS to be standing if he is motionless. How do I make it so he can crouch without "idle" getting in the way?

If you post your code of his movement I might be able to help.
all I can think of is

OnclipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isdown(Key.SPACEBAR)) {
gotoAndStop(insertframehere)
}
}

it should override the idle unless you have }else{
command stating that if this key isn't down go back to the standing frame
