Answer 1

add event listeners to the element
touchstart
mousedown
touchend
mouseup

Then point touchstart and mousedown to the same event function. In this function use a while loop to continue doing what you want while pressed. Use a boolean variable to control the loop that is set to true from the touchstart/mousedown event. Then use the touchend/mouseup event function to change the boolean to false stopping the loop when the element is no longer pressed.
