hi,  
i have this code in my flash movie to scroll a large image behind a rectangular mask:

left\_btn.onPress = function () {  
drag\_mc.\_x-=10;  
}

right\_btn.onPress = function () {  
drag\_mc.\_x+=10;  
}

All i want to know is, can i make the movement continuous, onPress, instead of the user having to click for each increment? this would make the viewer really smooth!  
thanks for any help or advice,
