How to count the current sound loop in play(0, 30)

I'm playing a sound file (mp3) and looping it 30 times. 

soundChannel = soundLoop.play(0, 30);

I would like to display the current loop as a number in a textField. Have tried using an eventListener to determine when each loop restarts, but I think that Event.SOUND_COMPLETE dispatches when the sound is loaded and not for each repeated play.

I'd be grateful for some guidance in this area. Thanks.

Edit with working code Thanks to @Barış

    var lastPosition:Number;
    var loops:int=1;
    var timerLoops:Timer = new Timer(1000);
    timerLoops.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, startTimerLoops);

    function startTimerLoops():void
    {
        timerLoops.start();

        if(lastPosition > soundChannel.position)
            loops++;
            lastPosition = soundChannel.position;
            trace("Playing " + loops + " of 30" + "-" + lastPosition);

    }

soundChannel.position is the time in milliseconds from the beginning of the sound. It is reset to 0 after the sound loops. You can track that to figure out if the sound looped.

Something like the following in your update/enterframe can work : 

private function update():void
{
   if(lastPosition > soundChannel.position)
      loops++;
   lastPosition = soundChannel.position;
}
