Hey, me again! I am working on pulling apart some code from Peach Pellen at Techority, to do with Countdown. She has a script there that counts down to christmas.
Here is the script
http://techority.com/2011/12/07/making-a-countdown-app-with-corona-sdk/
So far i have set three global variables as follows
[lua]globalDays = 0
globalHours = 0
globalMinutes = 0[/lua]
A user enters their values via some input boxes on a screen, and i have them working fine.
What i can’t get my head around is modifying the script properly. At the moment, it takes the CURRENT hour, minute,second and counts down from that. However i need it to start counting down from the hour, minute,second that the user specified.
I can’t get my head around it. Here is a sample of the code that is working the hour out.
[lua]local hoursLeft = 23 - time.hour
if (hoursLeft < 10) then
hoursLeft = “0” … hoursLeft
end
hourText.text = hoursLeft -1[/lua]
Now i know it is time.hour that is pulling in the current hour in the day, and i know how to replace it to show the hour the user chose, but then it stops counting/ticking over.
Any help or a friendly nudge in the right direction would be great 
Then i think i am nearly finished in my app [import]uid: 120612 topic_id: 26677 reply_id: 326677[/import]
