To avoid bottling up the engine servicing your loop:

on mouseMove mX, mY
 put format( "horz: %d  vert: %d", mX, mY )
end mouseMove 

Scott Raney has told us in the past that "repeat until the mouseClick" is
not a good idea because it bolixes up the event handling in the engine. I've
found that mouseMove works wonderfully in situations where you'd be tempted
to use "repeat until the mouse is up" or similar loops.
