How could I check constantly whether mouse is down and if mouse is down and it moves that I cal a function

I tried mk_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fct) but it only calls the function ones and then stops, I want to do it constantly, how can I do it?

What you’re asking for has been asked for before, but I can’t easily find a duplicate question, so I’ll post the link to my question where I was asking for help with a few niche issues.

Some reasonable code for handling drag events in AS3 is:

stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );

function beginDrag( e:MouseEvent )
{
  stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drag );
  stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag );
  stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.DEACTIVATE, endDrag );
  stage.addEventListener( Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, endDrag );
  stage.addEventListener( Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, stageEndDrag );

  //trigger beginDrag event
}
function drag( e:MouseEvent )
{
  //trigger drag event
}
function endDrag( e:Event )
{
  stage.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drag );
  stage.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag );
  stage.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.DEACTIVATE, endDrag );
  stage.removeEventListener( Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, endDrag );
  stage.removeEventListener( Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, stageEndDrag );

  //trigger endDrag event
}
