We have found that if you skip over frames that include nested movieclips with embedded timeline sounds, those sounds loop endlessly.

For example, if you gotoAndStop(20) from frame 2, but frames 5-10 have a CLIP A that embeds CLIP B, which has a timeline sound, you hear that sound over and over again (even though the playback head never touched the frames with that clip).

Does anyone have a convenient workaround (other than the obvious – playing sounds dynamically, etc). For animation-sync reasons we need to use timeline sounds in this particular case.

Thanks!
