Very Good Morning,
Try the following code
var intervalID:Number
_global.lines = 0
my_btn.onPress= function () {;
    intervalID = setInterval(incrementNumber, 1000);//1000 for 1 second after 1 second you increment function will call
my_btn.onRelease= function () {;
    clearInterval( intervalID );
function incrementNumber()
if (_global.lines<25) {
        _global.lines = _global.lines+1;
        trace(_global.lines)
        txt_lines.text = _global.lines;
