It sounds as if you are trying to make it loop by looping the frames in 

which it is placed. This is the wrong approach. Make it loop by setting a 

loop number in the dialog box that appears when you place the sound in a 

frame (Frame Properties->Sound).

Again I suspect you are manipulating this in the wrong way. See 

http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/toggle for a model of how to do it. Then let 

me know if I'm mistaken.
