Hi Doug,

Here's a quick idea:
--
on mouseUp
  ## show some numbers during 2 seconds
  repeat 10 times
    put random (25) into field "field1"
    wait 200 milliseconds
  end repeat
  ## now the code you already had
  put random (25) into field "field1"
  revsetspeechvoice "ralph"
  revspeak field "field1"
  wait 4 sec
  put empty into field "field1"
end mouseUp
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
