on startMovie
   global gTimeStarted
   gTimeStarted = the milliseconds
end


then, whenever your bit is done:

   global gTimeStarted
   alert("It took me "&(the miliseconds - gTimeStarted)&" milliseconds to run!)

or do whatever else with that data to output it (such as tossing it in your 
setPrefs so you don't have to show up to record each as it finishes.
