I'm aware of a performClick(); function on some gui controls, you may want to combine a mouse event with a loop on that function.

Be cautious though, you don't want to send multiple calls to the same function at once, that would give you a nice infinite loop.

You can use movemap.bind("your_function");

function your_founction(%val)
{
//your logic
}

check if(%val == 1) then call a schedule function to repeat itself.

else if(%val == 0) stop the schedule function.

Hope this will help.
