Countdown Timer

Hello,
I am trying to insert a countdown timer in the application. When i press the button, the countdown starts from 60 Secs to 0 Secs.
i have tried it using the string 'GetState.Text = 60' then 'GetState.Text = 59' and so on... but i need to put delay of 1 sec in between, how is it possible?
Also, Is there any other way of doing this?
Please reply

Thanks,


Khurram

var counter;
function count () 
{
   // stop interval if it has been started before
   IR.ClearInterval(counter);
   //start value
   var time = IR.GetItem("Page 1").GetItem("Item 1").GetState(0).Text = 60;
   function count () {
      //if time > 0 then subtract 1 and send to text field
      if (time > 0) {
         IR.GetItem("Page 1").GetItem("Item 1").GetState(0).Text = --time; 
      } else {
         // stop subtracting if time <=0
         IR.ClearInterval(counter);
      }; 
   }
   // start function count every 1000 ms (1 s)
   counter = IR.SetInterval(1000, count);
}
you can start the timer with Script Call command:
