REDDIMORE'S PROFILE

I am new to RPGMaker and am using RPGMaker 2003. I was wondering if the tasks set to an event must fire simultaneously or if they can be programmed to fire one at a time?

I am working on a game and part of it requires an event to walk forward three steps and toggle on/off a switch. However, the way I have it set up now, the character walks forward and at the same time toggles the switch. I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't happen in sequence.

Any tips?

Thanks,
