Well the thing about SET OBJECT FRAME is that it sets the object frame . If you want to play an animation, use PLAY OBJECT or LOOP OBJECT - in fact you'd be better off looking at the example supplied with our alien buddy because that has all the animations setup in the example.

Personally I always use SET OBJECT FRAME and handle the animation sequences through code, makes it much easier to blend animations, however you have to increment the frames otherwise you'd only be setting a pose.

Yeah, LOOP OBJECT lets you specify the start and end frame.
