NSButton Up/Down Events

[Brad Carter]

yes, I think I wasn't explaining what I wanted correctly.

I need this for the button down, not mouseDown.  I think I was stuck  
on the thought of using mouseDown because that's how I got it to work  
in AppleScript Studio.  So, on button down I call a method and then  
when the button is released it calls another method.

Here's an example of a mouseDown I did using AppleScript and it also  
has an 'on mouse up' section that basically does the same thing.

on mouse down theObject event theEvent
	if the name of theObject is equal to "panLeft" then
		do shell script "/usr/bin/curl --connect-timeout 2 http://admin:
