Voice Synthesizer: Set playing sound's start point and duration to its length

[Glen Charles Rowell]

How do I set playing sound's start point using an interval and also set the duration of play time to the sounds length? Then keep this happening for multiple sound that play one after the other?

I want to make a voice synthesizer and reduce the distance of gaps between sounds. "G"+"l"+"e"+"n" to "Glen" ect.

By the way, I'm making this from scratch and just want to understand how to do it. I don't actually need a working piece of software. I might make a mixing program later but wanna learn how to do all this stuff first.

Wow. I didn't think it was that difficult. Please help me. I've got this but can't figure out how to get an intival to work properly.

mySound = new Sound();
	mySound.attachSound(myArray2[_global.currentSound]);
	trace(myArray2[_global.currentSound]);
	mySound.start();
	//
	trace(mySound.duration);
	_global.currentSound2 = mySound.duration-1;
	trace(_global.currentSound2);
	_global.currentSound++;
	if (myArray2.length == _global.currentSound) {
		clearInterval(speechInterval);
		trace("cleared interval");
		_global.currentSound = "0";
		stop();
	} else {
		speechInterval = setInterval(Starter, _global.currentSound2);
		trace("interval is runninggggggggggg");
	}

I don't think you can play with duration of a sound.. That involves synthesizing.. And flash can't do that. You can play with a duration of a pause. though.

It can only play straight sound.
try making a really big array like mySoundArray = new Array(1000);
And create a tempo is a setInterval... the tempo will go through each index of the array every say 1/10 of a second...
if an index == 0 then don't play anything...
if an index == a sound then play that sound.

here's an example
