Trying to get a 2d animation to start on tap

Hello, 

I am trying to write script where the 2d animation starts on tap. As of right now I can only get the animation to go one frame per tap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My code is here below: 

// -----JS CODE-----
// Plays an animated sprite
//@input Component.SpriteVisual SnowmanSprite

var controllerProvider = script.SnowmanSprite.mainPass.baseTex.control;

var currentSnowmanFrame = 0;
controllerProvider.pauseAtFrame(currentSnowmanFrame);

function activateSnowmanAnimation () {
currentSnowmanFrame += 1;
currentSnowmanFrame = currentSnowmanFrame % controllerProvider.getFramesCount();
controllerProvider.pauseAtFrame(currentSnowmanFrame);

}

var touchEvent = script.createEvent("TapEvent");
touchEvent.bind(activateSnowmanAnimation)
