This is simple and does the trick.

on mouseDown
   if the doubleClick then exit
   startTimer
   repeat while the mouseDown
   end repeat  
   if the timer < 20 then
       exit
   end if
   go to the frame + 1
end

Instead of 20, you can set a variable then globally change the timing
sequence, however you want it. You use this for all your arrows, test the
timing and set the variable.
