on mouseUp
set itemdel to ":"
put the long time into tTime

end mouseUp
on countDown
put the hms of me into temp
subtract 1 from item -2 of temp
--The dateItems will take care of the negative seconds
convert temp to dateItems
set the hms of me to temp
put temp into tDisplayTIme
put item -4 to -2 of tDisplayTIme into temp2
replace "," with ":" in temp2
put temp2 into field 1

--Change the "1 sec" to "1 Minute" when you are sure it works for you.
end countDown
