Make the function dependent on an outside variable (boolean). Something like:

_global.functionOK = true;
btn.onRelease = function() {
	_global.functionOK = false;
};
//start interval
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(myLoop, 10000);

function myLoop() {
	//check the _global variable and then proceed if true
	if (_global.functionOK) {
		//do this stuff
	} else {
		clearInterval(intervalID);
	}
}

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
