well then edit accordingly. simple as that. i really should have let you figure that one out yourself. i gave you the one line of code you needed. (exit repeat)

on clicked theObject
   start progress indicator "spinner" of window 1
tell application ""
set nTime to contents of text field "timeBox" of window 1

repeat nTime times

--stuff to repeat here
end repeat
end tell
   stop progress indicator "spinner" of window 1
if theObject is equal to "stopbutton" then
exit repeat
end if
end clicked
