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)  
}
