Recognize touch and hold?

[bipolarpants]

So I am using cocos2d and was trying to have it so when a person held their finger down the sprite would move 20 pixels to the right every .2 seconds (or whatever) How do I know when a finger is being held down? thanks!

maybe you can use UIGestureRecognizer, look documentation in particular UILongPressGestureRecognizer
