Hi Richmond,

Use a property.

// btn B
on mouseUp
    put 1 into KK
    set the cCLicked of btn "Cancel" to false
    repeat until KK = 25
      if the cClicked of btn "Cancel" is true then exit repeat
      set the vis of btn "B" to false
      wait 20 ticks with messages
      if the cClicked of btn "Cancel" is true then exit repeat
      set the vis of btn "B" to true
      wait 20 ticks with messages
      if the cClicked of btn "Cancel" is true then exit repeat
      put KK into fld "KNT"
      add 1 to KK
    end repeat
end mouseUp

// btn Cancel
on mouseUp
   set the cClicked of me to true
end mouseUp

If button Cancel is a checkbox, you could also use the hilite instead of 
the cClicked of the button.

I don't know at which point you want to exit the repeat loop, so I put 
the exit command in all relevant places.
