detecting for how long a key is being pressed

[Phil Davis]

Or, here's a modification of Malte's that won't get confused by multiple 
keys down before any key goes up:



global gKeydownTime


on rawKeyDown pKeyCode
   put the milliseconds into gKeydownTime[pKeyCode]
   pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown


on rawKeyUp pKeyCode
   put the milliseconds - gKeydownTime[pKeyCode]
   pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
