Mouse button releasing problem

Question

IN A NUTSHELL---------------------------------
how can i write this line in Action Script?
while(mouse is not released) do {
whatever
I want; to add a script to a button , btw i was using Flash
CS3 professional and didn;t know you can't add a script to an
object using as 3.0 so i was forced to use action script 2.0.
I want to add a script to a button instance name "R" that
will move the object instance name "timeline" to the left as long
as you hold the mouse down. so i have this so far but it will only
move the timeline with a single click.... see If i only knew how to
write the while condition...
//on(press){
// while(cord == true){
// _root.timeline._x = _root.timeline._x - 10;
Thank you....

thank you for your help........brilliant idea though it
didn't work all to well.. I studied your code and it makes sense it
should work fine...As I click on the button once it moves
continuously, but when i release the button it still continues to
move...Interestingly enough it won;t stop the moveI inteval .. Also
As i click on the button the speed increases.
Thanks for your help again.
