Making a button refresh? - Active button

[Paradoxz]

on (rollover) {
tar = tar +10;
}

When i use this on a button, is there any way to make it keep repeating? Such as as long as the mouse is over the button, it adds +10 in like second intervals?

Thank You,

There may be an easier way to do it, but one way would be to drop the button into a MC. Detect when the mouse is over the mc with something like:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

x_pos = _root.myMovieClip._xmouse
y_pos = _root.myMovieClip._ymouse
etc. }

When that condition becomes true, your button variable could begin incrementing and stop when it is no longer true.

Another option is to use setInterval.
Assume that you have a mc called myButton (I know - names are not my strong point) that contains a text field called counter, then:

var IntervalID;
var myCounter = 0;
myButton.onRollOver = function() {
	IntervalID = setInterval( incrementMe, 1000 , this);
};
myButton.onRollOut = function() {
	clearInterval(IntervalID)
};
function incrementMe(me) {
	me.countText.text=(myCounter++);
};

This will bump up the counter every second while the mouse is over the mc.

Thanks Docker, I was messin with Set Interval earlier.. couldnt get it to work.. I'll try your way.
