Overview

The following snippet demonstrates how to get continuous output on hold of a button in flash lite 2.0/3.0.

Preconditions

Let us take an example of a game in which hold of a button increments in speed variable. Create a new flash file (mobile) with any required resolution . Create 1 movie clip on root with instance name "mc" , 1 button with instance name "bt" and 1 dynamic text with variable name "spd_text" .

Source

Put this on the action script of the first frame  :

_global.goAhead = 0;
_global.speed = 0; //a variable which increments on hold
bt.onPress = function() {
_global.goAhead=1;
_root.mc.play();
}
bt.onRelease = function() {
_global.goAhead=0
_global.speed =0
_root.mc.stop()
}
bt.onDragOver = bt.onPress;
bt.onDragOut = bt.onRelease ;

Put this on the first keyframe of movie clip named as "mc" :

if (_global.goAhead == 0) {
stop()
}

Put this on the second keyframe of movie clip named as "mc" :

// put the action over here which u want to do on hold of a button
_global.speed += 1; 
_root.spd_txt = "Speed : " + _global.speed ;
