Sound doesn't play after it is paused

Hi, I am animating a Flash.fla video. I want a voiceover to play in the background of my animation, but the sound only plays when I play it from the very beginning. While I am editing, I want to be able to start/stop the sound so that I can see how it goes with my animation. Does anyone know how to do this? The sound is a .wav file if that helps. Thanks!!

    Do animations using an ActionScript 3 FLA, not an HTML5 Canvas FLA. Then you can select the sound in the timeline and in Properties you can set its sync to be Stream. Then you can scrub around and hear the sound, or play from anywhere. Being WAV is a good thing.

    If the animation needs to be HTML5 Canvas eventually, do all the timing work like I just said, then at the end you can convert the FLA to HTML5 Canvas using the Commands menu item Convert to Other Document Formats.
