It won't play automatically; you have to code it in with play object.

play obect doesnt work for me, you shall use the loop object command:

LOOP OBJECT objectnumber,startframne,endframe

example:
You want to play and loop the animation of object number 1, from frame 1 to 100:

LOOP OBJECT 1,1,100

This could have been an intelligent sentence.

Could someone confirm this for me:

When I build my model (I use milkshape) I build all the different animations in seperate files and load them all as seperate object, then show and hide the one I wish the user to see at a given time.

Is this correct, or is there a better way of doing this?

Screw the rules...what can i blow up?

You make all of the animations (running, walking, jumping) in one .x file, and play the frames of each animation accordingly.
