But you want something that will start a timer on you rollover, fire another
event after three seconds, and quit the timer when it reashes 3 seconds or
when you roll out.

myMovieClip.onRelease = handleRelease;
myMovieClip.onRollOver = handleRollover;
myMovieClip.onRollOut = handleRollout;

var mydate = new Date();

function handleRollover() {
   var mytime = mydate.getTime();
   this.onEnterFrame = fucntion() {
       if (mydate.getTime() - mytime > 3000) {
           this.handleRelease();
           delete this.onEnterFrame;
       }
   }

function handleRollout() {
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

function handleRelease() {
   trace("It worked");
}
