A frame action to loop a sound N number of times will be carried out to the 

end unless there is a subsequent action either to stop all sounds or to 

stop the specific sound that is looping; in the latter case, you apply the 

sound just as you did the first time, but set Sync to Stop, and # of loops 

is irrelevant.

Because Flash sometimes has trouble executing an action in a frame where it 

has just arrived via TellTarget or Go To. Failure to play a sound in such a 

frame is a common occurrence. Depending on your system, it may also take a 

moment for a sound to start playing even though the Flash movie has loaded. 

You might consider it a bug; I just consider it evidence that

Flash is only human :-).
