Love2D Animations?

[monstercameron]

i have been practicing love2d for a few weeks now and i have not been making much process - in part due to some frustration. I am looking for help with the code for animations. the way i usually do animations is just swap separate sprites on an event but it seems sprite sheets would be better. Anyaway any help would be good!
my source so far! and my love is dl it here, it actually works on caanoo but joysticks and fps are a bit wonky

function love.load()
	love.mouse.setVisible(false)
	font = love.graphics.newFont(14)
	love.graphics.setFont(font)

	level_1_platform_1= love.graphics.newImage("images/platform.png")
	platform_1_x =0
	platform_1_y =0

	level_1_platform_2= love.graphics.newImage("images/platform.png")
	platform_2_x =320
	platform_2_y =0

	parallax_layer_1=love.graphics.newImage("images/parallax_bg.png")
	parallax_1_x = 0	
	parallax_1_y = 0

	parallax_layer_2=love.graphics.newImage("images/parallax_bg_1.png")
	parallax_2_x = 0	
	parallax_2_y = 0
	
	hero= love.graphics.newImage("images/hero.png")
	hero_x=200
	hero_y=220
	heroMass=100
	heroInertia=5
	heroWalk=5
	heroGravity=3

	pauseMe=0

	music = love.audio.newSource("audio/ambiant.ogg", "stream")
	music:setLooping(true)
	love.audio.play(music)
	love.audio.setVolume(0.5)	
end

function movement(direction)
	if direction == 1 then
