Jump image problem

ok so i have this actor thats always accelerating and i have the jump setting set to when space is pressed > timer for .01 sec > accelerate up at 3000. now i want the actor image to change once it jumps but when i set the image change it changes for not even a second and then every time i jump after that the image does not even show. how can i set the jump image to show when the character is in he air?
