I am attempting to create movement on my game, by moving the character around the screen and also changing the image for animation. At the moment it is very basic and is just using a KeyDown event with arrows keys to move it. I have just started trying to use the down arrow key, implementing the change in picture with each step. However, the program remains constantly on the right hand image after the down key is first pressed and I am unable to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
