Please put code between [ CODE ] brackets.

Code:

on (press) {
// get start time
mousedown = getTimer();
gotoAndStop(2);
}

on (release) {
// set time to hold down
timer = 3000;
// get finish time
mouseup = getTimer();
// calculate how long the button was pressed
difference = mouseup - mousedown;

if (difference >= timer) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

}

Can't say I really understand why or what you are doing here...
