an effective way I use is to send the movie into a loop of say 4 frames.  

before sending into the loop set a variable with the GetTimer to get the 

current time in the movie. then at the end of the loop have it use the 

GetTimer value again and subtract the variable from before it entered the 

loop. then divide by 1000 to get the number of seconds that have passed  put 

this into an if statement to either send the movie back into the loop or 

start playing again.
