Decimal places!

Hi fellow Director users!,
I had a countdown timer (75 seconds)
for a game, and I wanted to display the time taken to complete it, in a
field. So, I used the following code: -

put 75 - field "myTime5" & " seconds" into field "s5result".

....BUT, that resulted in the time having .0000 after the number of seconds.
How would I get rid of these zero digits?

Thanks!

You need to look up and use the floatPrecision command. Its on page 245 of
the Director MX lingo Dictonary.
