You cannot use a repeat loop like this, because it stops stage events from
occuring. In fact, it completely halts your movie.
You need to use exitFrame to create the loop like this:
property running
on exitFrame me
if( running ) then
-- do stuff
end if
end
-- Example usage
on mouseUp me
running = not running
end
This will "do something" once per frame, without affecting anything else in
the movie.
