Playing an animation never ends

[BoldBigflank]

I believe this is what is happening. I have this code in the player script that is called when an enemy is able to attack the player.

on playerHit do
	ignore
	gameIgnored = 1
	playerFrame += 1
	sound "death"
	play "die" then
		if playerFrame>3 then
			fin "Game over"
		else
			tell 12,12 to
				swap "white"
			end
			goto 12,12
			play "player"
			tell event.player to
				frame playerFrame
			end
			gameIgnored = 0
			listen
		end
	end
end

In the Pulp browser simulator, it does what I expect, which is play the 6 or so frames for the animation, then do the rest of the code to move the player back to the start position. In the compiled Simulator though, the animation is played over and over, and never moves on. The rest of the game is continuing at the same time.
