Actionscript advice needed

Question

right, i know there is a lot of code pasted here but ive cut
out the bits that dont need changing!!
basically im stuck on this now, i have a motion detection
actionscript program running and counting the number of pixels with
movement in them...
the timer now works and only certain movie clips are used at
certain times, however i want to reset the 'count' variable so that
it starts counting from 0 again when a new minute is started...
How can I reset the counter for each time period? or how
could I put in a new variable for each time period?
var count = 0;
var my_date: Date = new Date();
function snap() {
// code cut down
var nine = 0;
var total = 0;
// code cut down
if (d>tolerance) {
count = count+1;
nine = count;
ten = count;
total = count;
// code cut down
var my_date: Date = new Date();
if (my_date.getMinutes() == 24) {
if (nine>50) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(2);
if (nine>100) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(3);
if (nine>150) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(4);
if (nine>200) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(5);
if (nine>250) {
mc_nine.gotoAndStop(6);
if (my_date.getMinutes() == 25) {
if (ten>50) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(2);
if (ten>100) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(3);
if (ten>150) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(4);
if (ten>200) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(5);
if (ten>250) {
mc_ten.gotoAndStop(6);
if (count>0) {
total = count;
trace(total);
updateAfterEvent();
before = now.clone();
}

I'm not sure how well it would work, but how about a simple
if statement.
if(count>59){
count=0;
}
