my problem is that i have two objects one of the character standing still the other is of him walking/moving
so when i use the move object command would it be possible to make the standing still object change to the walking one before it moves

I can offer you a solution, however, I'm almost positive there's a better way, you'll just have to look for it. I'm not saying this method won't work, just that it's inefficient. But since your just starting out, you probably don't care about efficiency, you just want it to work.
Basically, load both of your objects (the stationary one and the one with the walk animation). position them both at the same location, hide the object with the walking animation. then, when you use your move object command do something as follows:
if upkey() = 1
hide object 1
show object 2
loop object 2
move object 1,5
move object 2,5
else
hide object 2
stop object 2
show object 1
endif

just make sure that in every instance that you relocate/move/rotate your character, you affect BOTH objects (hence the commands to move both objects, even though you can only see one of them).
