Russell,

If you set the sound to Stream then the wave form in the timeline will show 

you where the sound ends. Then just add 2 seconds of empty frames before 

starting the next sound. Disadvantages of "Stream" are 1) it gets stored 

once for every occurrence, so if it plays more than once, the .swf size 

goes up proportionately; 2) It forces animation to keep up, even at the 

cost of dropping animation frames.
