setInterval within a movieclip onRelease

Does anyone have any idea why this interval will only fire once when a movieclip is pressed and released. It works, but just one time. I want the interval to keep firing. This is a dumbed down version of the code.

Any help would be much appreciated !!!

on (release)
{

function hello(i:String)
{
trace("hello " + i)
}

this.go = hello(“justin”)
myint = setInterval(this,“go”,1)
}
