This is fine. You could also put the sound in the main timeline and set it
to Stream to make the animation sync exactly to it. Or you could loop it
more times but stop it at the right frame (you do this the same as starting
the sound only designate the Sync type as "Stop.").

Flash has no such function. Too bad. Director is way ahead in this area.
