repeat withrepeat with variableName = ¬ integer1 to integer2 statements end repeat repeat with variableName = ¬ integer1 down to integer2 statements end repeat
The statements in a repeat with structure repeat until a variable with an initial value of integer1 is greater than (or, in the case of down to, less than) the number integer2. The value of the variable increases (or decreases) by 1 during each iteration of the repeat loop. If HyperCard executes an exit repeat statement in the loop, it continues running the handler starting from the first statement after end repeat. If HyperCard executes a next repeat statement, it returns immediately to the beginning of the repeat loop and increases (or decreases) the value of the variable. Demo Scripton mouseUp show bkgnd field "demo field" put return & spaces(25) & "Counting down to 0: 10" ¬ into bkgnd field "demo field" repeat with theCount = 10 down to 0 put theCount into last word of bkgnd field "demo field" wait 15 ticks end repeat flash wait 20 hide bkgnd field "demo field" put empty into bkgnd field "demo field" end mouseUp
