SKAction.animate not animating all frames

Question

So I've got a really mysterious problem. I want to animate my character walking across the ground. So whenever I call player.moveRight() or player.moveLeft() in gameScene's update(), it only plays one of the frames when I hold down the move button. When I release the move button only then does it plays the rest of the frames. What could be going on??

EDIT:

Hey guys I found the solution! So you guys were right, it was because update() was calling the animation function more than once. I set up some Boolean checks and it works now. I also came across this that really helped me out.
