[Newbies] Re: [etoys-dev] How can I play a sound from time A to time B?

[karl ramberg]

Open a graph on the sound.
You may need to edit the sound to get a graph of it.
A graph is much like a holder so you can play sound from a sample location
to another sample location.

Keep an eye out for the length of the sound you load. I'm sure a long sound
will be a big hog of memory and make your project sluggish.
