Convert to seconds, why??

[Ken Ray]

Francois,

One issue is that you can't use "convert <x> from <y> to <z>" but
instead use "convert <x> to <z>", that is, "convert tampon to seconds"
instead of "convert tampon from long time to seconds". 

Secondly, the "long time" is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 (I
think it's Jan 1), so since you're not working with dates and actual
times you shouldn't use "time" values at all, IMHO. How about something
like this:

on mouseUp
  put fld "règletemps" into tTime  --BTW don't need "cd" in front of
"fld"
  set the itemDel to ":"
  put item 1 of tTime into tHours
  put item 2 of tTime into tMins
  put item 3 of tTime into tSecs
  set the numberFormat to "00"
  add 30 to tSecs
  add (tSecs div 60) to tMins
  put (tSecs mod 60) into tSecs
  add (tMins div 60) to tHours
  put (tMins mod 60) into tMins
  put (tHours mod 24) into tHours
  put tHours & ":" & tMins & ":" & tSecs into fld "règletemps"
end mouseUp

Let me know how it goes,
