Flipping Animation/Jumping animation

Hello there UnityAnswers.

I have been struggling with a project of mine, and I hope you guys can give me an insight.

I have this small sprite character, with a sold movement script. I've created a Flipping method to flip him when facing left, and i repert this method when he turns right again. But the thing is: the flipping doesn't happen when I press two movement keys (A or D) at once. I would like him to go towards the last pressed key, but even if the character itself goes sideawys, the animation does not. What should I do?

Also I have this sweet jumping animation, with a perfect take off and a landing timing, but the thing is: when my character is running, and ends up jumping, the running animation continues playing, instead of the JumpStarting animation. What should I do?

I am including my script and some video examples of my issues. Any other kind of feedback wil be highly appreciated. Thank You!
