As other people on this list i had problems with "idle" or "mouseStilldown" or
in Metacard.
We were explained that we have to use instead "send ..."

But i can not imagine how to use "send" in some straight cases.

I often need that something happens repeatedly as long as the user press a
button.

Suppose a locked field used as a counter


on mousedown b
  repeat while the mouse is "down"
    if b = 1 then
      add 1 to me
    else
      subtract 1 from me
    end if
  end repeat
end mousedown

or

on mousestilldown
  if mouse(1) = "down" then
    add 1 to me
  else
    subtract 1 from me
  end if
end mousestilldown
