Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:
I need do something when i press a mouse key,and stop it when i release the mouse key?
this is my code seems like this for example: in layer1: e{WAITMS:100}{layer:2},in layer2: q{WAITMS:200}{layer:1},
my real code is much more compolex,so I want a loop when i pressed mouse4 it run and it stop when i release mouse4,it can stop at layer1 or layer2,i dont care witch layer it stop,but i need to stop imeddiately.maybe i have five layer,i just give a 2 layer example.thank u

OK so that sounds pretty simple...

Just so method 6 "repeatedly while the mouse button is down" is probably the most suitable option.
That should repeat while you hold the button as stop when you release the button. It should stop when releasing the button BUT, as I suspect you have found, it will finish the currently executing sequence by default.

I believe this is why I introducd the {flush}, {od}/{ou}/{or} tags, so you can add a command that runs only on button up (releasing the button)...
for example: {ou}{flush}e{WAITMS:100}{layer:2},in layer2: q{WAITMS:200}{layer:1}

If you want to stop and not finish the currently executing repeat, it may be possible to add {ou}{flush} or maybe to the beginning but I would have to check on that as that's a little less clear to me.

However, I just tried this and Im not sure its working... Because when you change layer, its breaking the repeat (because the layer has changed, the simkey is not the same on the next layer)... I don't know if that's a new bug in the latest beta or if its always done that, so I will need to investigate further when I can find some time for XMBC.

Thanks,

It works,i think i only need one layer like {ou}{flush}1{wait:n}2{wait:n}3{wait:n}4...
