Check the flash Doc's. They are very clear on how to use setInterval, clearInterval.

this will call the interval everytime you press the button

function interval() {
trace("interval");
clearInterval(intervalId);
}
button.onRelease = function() {
intervalId = setInterval(interval,1000);
}

You can also use setTimeout.

setTimeout is undocumented, but takes exactly the same arguments of setInterval (works both with and without an object just like interval as well).

The only difference with setTimeout is that it does not return the intervalID, becuase it only performs the function ONCE.

button.onRelease = function() {
setTimeout(trace,1000,"Words to trace")
}
