my flash document loops but I want the sound to play only once

[yomata]

my flash document is on a loop.
I want a sound to play only once when the .swf loads the first time, not every time the document loops

Will someone help on this?

Using Flash MX

I imported the sound to the stage

in properties

sync: event,repeat,0

Post a link to your .fla zipped up.

You're on MX but MX2004.

Unexpected file format! Can't open your .fla.
You'd have a better chance of getting an answer if your .fla was in a MX only format, and zipped up.

You would have to save a copy of your MX2004 .fla, (using Save as...) and changing the Document type to MX only in the Save as... window.

As I posted earlier...

Delete all frames but the first one on your sound layer.
Select the first frame, and press SHIFT-F5 until there only one frame left.
Another actions only layer.
On the last frame (30) press F6 to insert a keyframe.
Right-click the keyframe and select Actions.
Type:
gotoAndPlay(2);

Your animation will loop, but the sound won't repeat, since it's looping to frame 2.
