Problem
You want to change the points within a sound at which it begins and ends playing.
Solution
Open the Edit Envelope dialog box for the sound, and adjust the Time In and Time Out controls.
Discussion
Flash allows you to modify the in and out points for a sound by adjusting the Time In and Time Out controls within the Edit Envelope dialog box. Use the mouse to drag them to the points at which you wish the sound to start and end.
