It seems to be a problem with the way you handle the idle flag. Well, I didn't read your code carefully, I suggest right away: restart from scratch :) concerning the keys handler. Here's what I'd do:


idle=1

if keydown(walk)
 if jumping=0
  if walking=0
   walking =1
   animate joe,walk_seq
  endif
  idle=0
  swimming=0
  whatever=0
  isbored=0
 endif
 moveentity joe,0,0,1
endif

if keyhit(jump)
 if jumping=0
  jumping =1
  animate joe,jump_seq
  jump_force#=1.1
  isbored=0
  idle=0
  swimming=0
  whatever=0
  walking=0
 endif
endif

if jumping=1
 jump_force=jump_force- .1
 if jump_force < -1.1 then jumping=0 ; add collision check!
endif

if idle=1
 if isbored=0
  animate joe,idle_seq
  isbored=1
 endif
endif

translateentity joe,0,gravity#+jump_force#,0 ; gravity

Well, basicly do the following:
set idle to true
check all possible keys - and set idle to false if the user makes any action
in the end ask if idle is still true and play the idle animation if required.
