You'll need to set up a "send" structure that checks the keysdown(). 
Something like this:

on keydown pkey
   if pkey = "f" then
     doTheFlipping
     send "checkKey" to me in 0
   else
     pass keydown
   end if
end keydown

command checkKey
   if "102" is in keysdown() then -- 102 is the keycode for "f"
     send "checkKey" to me in 250 milliseconds -- adjust timing here
   else
     doTheFlipping
   end if
end checkKey
