I’m trying to figure out how I can make the sound file that I load into Flash start at x seconds and end at x+30 seconds.

So basically, I just want a 30 second sample to play starting at a specific time position. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this or have links to somewhere I can read up on it?

As always, thanks for any help 🙂
