Playback will start each frame by resetting each input
https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel/blob/dev/flixel/system/replay/FlxReplay.hx#L188
which sets the mouse's button state to 0

I recommend having the mouse behave like keys

Research direction

Start with the playback reset in flixel/system/replay/FlxReplay.hx around line 188 and the mouse button state handling in flixel/input/FlxInput.hx around lines 46-50. Compare how key presses and holds are recorded across consecutive frames. Done means held mouse presses are recorded and replayed on each frame like held keys.
