I am currently making a 2d platformer and need help with some walking sounds

I have been advised to use the script below but because I have 2 movement options they just get in the way of eachother

Here is the script:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [ d*] pressed?> then 

  
play sound [ footsteps] until done

else
stop all sounds
end
end

It's quite confusing because if I have 2 of these scripts running at the same time for the right arrow and the left arrow (my 2 movement options) the footstepps sound will always be playing for a split second and then restarting itself. Is there any way that I can make it so that:

When green flag clicked
forever
if <not <key right arrow OR left arrow pressed?>>then
stop all sounds

But the stop all sounds part is quite annoying because I also have a background music for my game, so if I or anybody else finds a solutionI will add to this question later.

*basically any movement button you choose

The issue with this script is that the “play sound until done” hast to end before it can register the “else” command so it would be the same effect

Thanks so much for the help! Especially the showcase because it shows what happens in an actually running script in game. This will help so much with my game now!
