Code: Select all
put the seconds into theCounter
put theCounter into theTime
repeat until theCounter - theTime >= 60
put 60 - (theCounter - theTime) into field 1
put the seconds into theCounter
wait for 0.3 seconds with messages
end repeat
note: it's generally suggested to use send in time, and not repeat in these cases.

Itay:
Bernd's comment about sending in time is important, because it allows the computer to do other things while the counter is running. A repeat loop takes over everything unless you explicitly look out for other processes. In a button script on a card with a field:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the seconds into sTime
put sTime + 60 into eTime
countdown sTime,eTime
end mouseUp
on countDown sTime,eTime
if the seconds > eTime then exit to top
put 60 - (the seconds - sTime) into fld 1
send "countDown sTime,eTime" to me in 1
end countDown
Note that this script runs much more often than once per second; it usually just reloads the same time value. It still leaves plenty of room for other things to happen, as you will see when you run it.
