I would like to use a music clip I found on Flashkit in my movie but only
need a certain section of it. Is it possible to limit myself to just this
section without investing in some extra software? Thanks.

no, audio has to be edited outside the flash.
by the way, there are some free tools you can use for it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you knew the start and end point of the song
in seconds you could always use:

soundClip.start( songStartPosition ) // songStartPosition is in Seconds

and then find the stop position - lets say @ 20 sec. by

songStopPosition = 20 * 1000 // convert 20 seconds to miliseconds (assuming
the soundClip has been loaded or attached)

someLoop {
if (soundClip.position >= songStopPosition) {
soundClip.stop();
delete someLoop;
}
}

this of coarse would have to be in a loop of some kind and would not be 100%
accurate (increasingly inacurate depending on processor speed.

I would just download Audacity and use that. Its free and pretty easy to use.

sure you could work around with action script but as you said it would not be too accurate
and it's simply overkill as you can do it once and food good in any audio editing program.
And as you said, there are free one too...
