With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

How do detect whether the mouse is continuely pressed

Asked by rruth in Scripting Languages, ActionScript

How can I detect a continous mouse down state? I need to auto-increment a numeric text field as long as the mouse is held down over an up botton and decrement for a down bottom. As soon as the mouse is up, the process stops. I believe I probably need to two frames, when the mouse is pressed, the head moves to the second frame which detects whether the mouse is down. If it is, increment a numeric variable, display the variable, then send the head back to the first frame that repeats the process of the second frame. I can increment the numeric variable and display it but I am not sure how to detect a continous mouse state.

Thank you for any help!
