measure how long button (or clip!) is pressed for

[rolandscriven]

Does anybody know a simple way of measuring how long a button has been pressed for - had a look at gettimer but this seems to be an odd way of doing things - basically i want to say

onclick start timing -
offclick end timing

var time = time button was pressed!

any ideas much appreciated.. thanks - and if there is a simple solution (FOR ONCE!) that would be really cool!
