If the MC is not placed in frame 1 of the movie and you move to a frame

before the Sound MC (or if you move to a new Scene) then the sound MC

will be reset and will start again in its default frame.


If you don't wanr sound to start at frame 1 then you need to put the

Sound MC in its own layer in frame 1 (or before any frame that can be

called by the menu), set default with sound off and Tell Target the

Sound MC when you want it to come on.
