The following was submitted, but does not check to see if the cursor was 
within the rect of the button:

on mouseUp
   wait 10 ticks     --60 ticks in a second -  adjust to your liking.
   if the mouseclick then
      --double-click script
   else
      --SIngle-click script
   end if
end mouseUp

Here is the script which will check for the mouseLoc:

on mouseUp
  wait 10 ticks     --60 ticks in a second -  adjust to your liking.
  if the mouseclick ANDB
  the clickLoc is within the rect of me then
    --double-click script
  else
    --SIngle-click script
  end if
end mouseUp

You may wish to set the "wait 10 ticks" to "wait 15 ticks", as 1/4 of a 
second is an average double-click response time.  (This 'average' is based 
upon 450 case studies I did.)

Have Fun!!
