Sorry about that... this will work if you just want to count down from a fixed
amount of time:
on mouseUp
DoCountDown "2:45:59"
end mouseUp
on DoCountDown pTime
convert pTime to seconds
subtract 1 from pTime
convert pTime to dateItems
split pTime by ","
put format("%02d:%02d:%02d",pTime[4],pTime[5],pTime[6]) into tNewTime
put tNewTime into fld "Time"
if tNewTime = "00:00:00" then
TimesUp
else
send "DoCountDown tNewTime" to me in 1 second
end if
end DoCountDown
on TimesUp
answer "Done"
end TimesUp
