How can I rotate an MC continuously and stop it using a button?

```auto

MC.rotation += 1;

```

I tried using the code above but it won’t rotate it continuously.  
Then I tried searching the web,what I get is :

```auto

MC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotate);

```

yes,it will rotate my MC continuously but I don’t know what sort of condition  
if I want : click will rotate it continuously and then stop it by clicking it again or using a stop button.

I’m not sure if I want to use conditional(not sure about the code too) or are there any way that more efficient than the ENTER\_FRAME ?:block:

thanks.
