I did it like this so you can pass one param for sum from 0th to nth item, or n,m for the a sum of the range between n an m, or no params for sum of it all:
 
Array.prototype.sum = function(n,m) {
	if (arguments.length == 1){
		return this.slice(0,n).sum()
	} 
	if (arguments.length == 2){
		return this.slice(n,m).sum()
	}
 
	var sum = 0;
	for (var i = 0; i<this.length; i++) {
		sum += this[i];
	}
	return sum;
};

myArray.slice(n,m).sum();
 
//test code/////////////////////////////////
Array.prototype.sum = function() {
	var sum = 0;
	for (var i = 0; i<this.length; i++) {
		sum += this[i];
	}
	return sum;
};
 
myArray = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
 
trace(myArray.slice(1,1).sum()); //n and m are 1 based, not zero??
