Flash CS6 AS3, Resetting Sound Channel

I've had a problem for a while trying to reset an audio loop to the beginning when loaded into Actionscript with this code i got from the official help forum

var alreadyExecuted:Boolean;
if(!alreadyExecuted){
alreadyExecuted=true;

var s:Sound=new SkaianSpirit();
var sc:SoundChannel=s.play(0,1);
}

What i want it to do, is loop indefinitely while the animation is playing regardless of positioning and whether or not frames have been skipped with buttons etc, but when the end of the animation comes, the track needs to end. At which point, if a button is clicked to send it back to the beginning of the animation, i want it to start the same loop as before. Currently, it will do the first part, but will not replay.

A couple caveats:

I am not loading it through a url.

I am not using buttons to control audio volume etc. It is to play automatically when the animation starts.

I am a complete and utter novice with Actionscript. I will not know what you're talking about if you lambast me with jargon i won't understand.

I'd highly appreciate the help!

I'm always use addFrameScript function for synchronizing external sounds with animations:

UPD: mc is the name of your animation. Place this code in the place (the first frame of the parent Sprite that holds the animation for instance) where your animation is created.

var s:Sound=new SkaianSpirit();
var sc:SoundChannel;

mc.addFrameScript(1, startSound); 
mc.addFrameScript(mc.totalFrames - 1, stopSound);

function startSound():void
{
    sc = s.play();
}
function stopSound():void
{
    sc.stop();
}
