Yes: use a combination of mouseMove and mouseRelease to avoid the repeat
loop in a mouseDown handler. Scott Raney has explained in the past that
constant polling of the mouse state in MC is very inefficient. So a
better way is to establish the state of the mouse with a variable on
mouseDown, do your tracking on mouseMove, and then use
mouseUp/mouseRelease to determine when the mouse was "let go".
