Is this what you are looking for?
on mouseUp
set itemdel to :
put the long time into tTime
put char 1 to -4 of tTime into field 1
convert tTime to dateItems
set the hms of me to tTime
countDown
end mouseUp
on countDown
put the hms of me into temp
subtract 1
Roger,
I forgot the stop clause. Maybe:
if field 1 is 0:0:0 then --or whatever
--Do your business
else
send countDown to me in 1 sec
end if

Hey as long as we are talking about dates and times, I am going to need soon a
method to determine if a block of time intersects with another. Specifically I
will need to do this in an SQL query. I suppose the best way would be to store
all dates in julian format, then have a query that, given
Using the dateItems is definitely the right direction, but my objective is
to count backwards from for example; 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 59 seconds
while updating the display field every second. When the countdown reaches
00:00:00, I would play a sound of do other actions.
Sorry about
Hi Bob,
Depending on your requirements, your tests might ned to be = and =. Also,
SQL has a BETWEEN operator that would make your code a little more
readable:
SELECT * FROM xyz WHERE startDate BETWEEN savedStartDate AND
savedEndDate
I don't think you need to store your dates in julian
Ah! Very useful thank you!

I wouldn't rely on the send in time structure to actually fire every second.
It's going to slip over time as the computer takes periodic spikes of use.
If you want New Years Eve accuracy of the final countdown, you should
probably re-calculate the delta based on the current time continuously.
Or with the other features you mentioned:
on mouseup -- start 1 hour timer button
get the seconds
put it into now
convert now to internet date
put now into fld 1 -- display the current time
add 3600 to it -- one hour from now
set the targetTime of me to it
convert it to

The variety of flavors in script methods to achieve a countdown timer are
obviously many. The first place I looked for such was in revOnline (user
samples). Would those of you in this thread that contributed a version of a
solution (Ken, Chris, James, others) be ok with me compiling these
I know I can convert the time to seconds, do the math, split it up into
HH:MM:SS, and repeat a send myCounter in 1 sec to update a countdown timer
field, but before I begin chiseling on a new square wheel, is there a better
(shorter) way?

I know I can
Lookup the convert function... dateAndTime and look at the format
dateItems. That probably has what you care about.
