Perhaps a more streamlined solution if you only need one of those two
sounds looping

Create a two frame movie clip with each frame having one of the sounds set
to loop 9999 times, and a "stop" action in the first frame of course.

for your button or frame actions: just make sure you "stop all sounds"
before tell targeting the sound movie clip to go to the appropriate frame.
