Stick the following into a cd fld script and you're set.
on mouseUp
global CountTimer
ask "Count down how many seconds?" with 300
put the milliseconds+(it*1000)into CountTimer
set the backcolor of me to red
send mousedown to me
end mouseup
on mousedown
global CountTimer
if CountTimer>the milliseconds then
set the numberformat to "00."
put (CountTimer-(the milliseconds))/1000 into temp
put trunc(temp/60) into mints
put temp mod 60 into seccs
put mints&":"&seccs into me
send mousedown to me in 300 milliseconds
else
set the backcolor of me to green
put "Reset" into me
end if
end mousedown
