Re: Automatic timing

Hi Jamie,

I suppose you have a script like this, somewhere:

on idle
   if fld "Digital Clock" is not the short time then
     put the short time into fld "Digital Clock"
   end if
   pass idle
end idle

You could adjust it as follows:

on idle
   if fld "Digital Clock" is not the short time then
     put the short time into myTime
     put myTime into fld "Digital Clock"
     if myTime is "13:00" then
       makeAnnouncement
     end if
   end if
   pass idle
end idle

The above script puts the time into a field if it is different 
from the current time and executes another handler if the time 
equals "13:00". By putting the time into a variable first, we 
make sure that it will also work with seconds (the long time).

The handler to be executed could be:

on makeAnnouncement
   go stack "Announcements" in new window
   put "Welcome back from lunch!" into fld 1
end makeAnnouncement

I hope this helps to get you started.

Best,

Mark
