only way to do this is to set sync to Stream so that the animation and 

sound are tightly synchronized. Then you can actually see in the timeline 

where the sound ends, and insert the action to go back to frame one.

Movie clips are not by default on a level -- that is, they exist on the 

same "level" as the parent movie, but if you're referencing them from the 

same movie you just use the path and instance name. So a movie clip on the 

main timeline can be referenced from the main timeline as "instancename" or 

from anywhere in the movie as "/instancename." A leading "/" always refers 

to the main timeline of the current movie. In tellTarget, you need to refer 

to levels only when communicating between movies (.swf's) that are loaded 

on different levels.
